Brazil: Brazilian Judiciary investigates candidate Bolsonaro
Weeks before the election, investigations into the collapse of Banco Master are shaking Brazil's politics and judiciary. There are suspicions of corruption and money laundering against Bolsonaro.
Brazil's Supreme Court is investigating Senator Flavio Bolsonaro on suspicion of corruption and money laundering. The probe was launched in July as part of a broader investigation into the collapse of Banco Master. Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, is a leading right-wing challenger to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in next month's election.
The investigation was prompted by donations from former Banco Master chief Daniel Vorcaro for a film about Flavio Bolsonaro's father. The scandal has plunged Brazil's institutions into crisis weeks before the presidential election.
