Brazilian Police Raid Pro-Bolsonaro Businessmen
August 24, 2022 at 7:34 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Brazilian police yesterday searched the homes of several prominent businessmen allied with President Jair Bolsonaro as the Supreme Court probes the men for discussing a possible power grab in the event the conservative leader loses October’s presidential election,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Legal and political analysts said the operation was likely to inflame tensions over allegations of antidemocratic behavior on both sides of the political divide in this polarized country.”
