Licensed federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) said on Tuesday, 27, that the opening of an inquiry by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to investigate the legality of his performance in the United States will wear out the relationship between Brazilian authorities and the US government.
“(Alexandre de) Moraes and his aloprades troupe will create a serious diplomatic incident with the US,” said the deputy on his X (Twitter) profile. Eduardo Bolsonaro is in the United States seeking political support from local authorities while his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), is accused in Brazil of leading an attempted coup.
In the publication, Eduardo shares a video showing the statement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio about possible sanctions to Moraes by Donald Trump’s government. On the 21st, the PL deputy celebrated the possible punishments to the STF minister: “We will win,” he said.

In the investigation request, PGR states that Eduardo Bolsonaro has been dedicated to achieving from the US government sanctions to STF members, the prosecutor and the Federal Police with the “intention to embarrass the progress of the trial” against his father.
Eduardo Bolsonaro called the decision to open the inquiry into “unfair and desperate measure.” The parliamentarian also stated that PGR is acting politically and that Brazil is on exception.
