Eduardo Bolsonaro is living in the United States and has been articulated with the US government to point out that the former president is the target of political persecution and pressure the Brazilian authorities. President Donald Trump even applied a “tariff” against Brazilian products, using the justifications the process that is being processed in the Supreme against Bolsonaro. He also applied sanctions against court ministers, including Moraes’s sanction by magnitsky law, used to punish foreigners, such as terrorists.

In relation to the crime of violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, the police justified that the incidence was made by the fact that the conduct exceeded “the context of criminal action (…), since they seek to directly reach Brazilian democratic institutions, notably the Federal Supreme Court and, even, the Brazilian National Congress, aiming to subjugate them to personal and specific interests of the aforementioned criminal action ”.
Message exchange between the two show the articulation for pressure from the United States government over Brazil to deliver Bolsonaro, as the PF showed. On July 7, for example, US President Donald Trump defended Bolsonaro on his social network, wrote that Brazil is “doing a terrible thing” against the former president and said he had been following “witch hunt against him.”

“If the light Amnesty passes, the last help from the US will be the Trump post. They will no longer help … We have to decide between helping Brazil, stam the STF and rescue democracy or send the people who have been in a protest that evolved into a horny riot,” Eduardo wrote.
Then, the federal deputy said: “In this scenario you: would no longer be supported by the US, what we got the harsh feathers here, as well as the end of the end of August.”

According to the PF, the messages confirm “their conscious and voluntary action with US authorities to obtain measures against the Brazilian State for the purpose of coercing Brazilian authorities, in particular ministers of the Supreme Court who act in criminal actions that investigate the attempt of coup and violent abolition of the democratic rule of law.”
In a statement published on his social networks, federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro stated that his performance in the United States has never aimed to interfere with any ongoing process in Brazil, but to “restore individual freedoms in the country”. Eduardo also classified the indictment by the Federal Police of “absolutely delusional”, noting that he currently lives in the United States and, therefore, protected by the country’s legislation.
“It is unfortunate and shameful to see the Federal Police treat as a crime the leakage of private, absolutely normal conversations between father and son and his allies. The goal is evident: it is not justice, but of provoking political wear. If my crime is fighting the Brazilian dictatorship, I declare myself guilty,” he said.
