TL;DR Summary

Brazilian federal police raided the home and offices of former president Jair Bolsonaro's spy chief, Alexandre Ramagem, as part of an investigation into alleged illegal monitoring of thousands of people, including supreme court judges and a key ally of the current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The investigation focuses on a secretive unit within Brazil's intelligence agency, Abin, which allegedly used Israeli spyware to track political opponents. Ramagem, a congressman for Bolsonaro's party, has not commented on the raids, which Bolsonaro called "relentless persecution." The scandal could have severe ramifications for Bolsonaro's political future.
