MADRID, 21 (EUROPA PRESS)

The Brazilian Federal Police formally charged former President Jair Bolsonaro and his son, Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, on Wednesday with attempting to obstruct the far-right leader's investigation into a coup d'état, including charges of coercion, by financing a plot to obstruct the case from the United States.

The body filed this complaint in a report submitted to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, after concluding its investigation into Eduardo Bolsonaro's actions in Washington to promote retaliatory measures against the Brazilian government and judiciary, according to Agencia Brasil.

The former president, in fact, has been under house arrest since August 4 for violating some of the precautionary measures imposed for allegedly funding up to two million reais (300,000 euros) to campaign through his son in the United States since March in favor of tariffs and sanctions against Brazilian authorities, at a time when President Donald Trump has shown unusual interest in his legal situation.
