The son of Brazil’s ex-president Jair Bolsonaro and the grandson of a former Brazilian dictator are lobbying the US government to sanction Brazilian Supreme Court justices who have accused Bolsonaro of leading an attempted coup in 2022.
“I open the door, I’m the heart, but you’re the brain,” Eduardo Bolsonaro, the former president’s third son, told businessman and journalist Paulo Figueiredo in a YouTube video discussing their campaign against the justices. Figueiredo’s grandfather, João Figueiredo, led Brazil’s military dictatorship from 1979 to 1985.
