Brazilian federal police accuse former president Jair Bolsonaro of receiving large sums of money without apparent justification between March of 2023 and February of 2024, potentially adding to the embattled former leader’s legal woes.

Brazilian police called Wednesday for former president Jair Bolsonaro and his son Eduardo to be charged with obstruction of justice for attempting to interfere with the ex-leader's trial over plotting an attempted coup.

Brazilian authorities have accused Bolsonaro and his son, Eduardo, of obstructing a trial related to corruption and a coup attempt. The police also said that Bolsonaro is facing 40 years in prison if convicted by the Brazilian Supreme Court of plotting a coup to overthrow the democratically elected government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
