TL;DR

Brazilian federal police searched properties linked to Carlos Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, as part of a probe into suspected illegal spying on political foes during his father's term. The probe, ordered by the Supreme Court, is investigating the use of Israeli software to track private cellphones and the illegal surveillance of Supreme Court justices and a former Lower House speaker during Bolsonaro's presidency. This marks a stark escalation in the investigation, hitting at Bolsonaro's inner circle, and comes as the former president faces multiple legal probes that could lead to his political ineligibility until 2030.
