Justice orders investigation into alleged foreign funding in Bolsonaro's campaign

The Brazilian Supreme Court has ordered an investigation into alleged foreign funding in the campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro, following concerns raised by political opponents. Judge Flávio Dino emphasized the need to examine the origins and flow of foreign resources, particularly from the United States, and the potential manipulation of social media algorithms favoring Bolsonaro. The inquiry responds to complaints from the Workers' Party and Renan Santos's campaign regarding Meta's actions and foreign profiles supporting Bolsonaro. The investigation will also look into the Rockbridge Network's alleged negotiations with Brazilian businessmen to support Bolsonaro's campaign, as foreign funding is prohibited under Brazilian law.
