Recent court records have unveiled a significant scandal involving Brazil’s spy agency under the administration of former President Jair Bolsonaro. According to these documents, the agency, led by Bolsonaro’s aide, engaged in unauthorized surveillance of politicians, judges, and other officials.
The records, part of an ongoing investigation, suggest that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (ABIN) conducted systematic monitoring of several high-profile figures. This surveillance allegedly included wiretapping, tracking movements, and collecting private information, all orchestrated by a close aide to Bolsonaro.
The revelations have sparked outrage among the political and judicial communities. Prominent politicians and judges have called for a thorough investigation, condemning the alleged misuse of state resources for political gain.
