Brazil’s prosecutor general has charged federal lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro with coercion in a case linked to the one in which his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, was convicted for plotting a coup.
The younger Bolsonaro has “repeatedly sought to subordinate the interests of Brazil and the entire society to his own personal and family agenda”, the prosecutor general’s office said in a statement on Monday.
The move comes weeks after the former leader was sentenced to 27 years in jail over an attempted coup plot.
A court will weigh whether Eduardo Bolsonaro's lobbying of US President Donald Trump amounted to illegal interference.
The former president is charged with five counts, including plotting the assassination of senior officials.
