Brazil, Flávio Bolsonaro attacks Moraes after the arrest warrant for his brother

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, candidate for the Brazilian presidential elections, attacked Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes after the arrest warrant for his brother Eduardo, sentenced to four years and two months in prison for attempting to influence the trial of his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro. In a live broadcast on social media, Flávio defined the measure as "completely ineffective", claiming that it will have no consequences because his brother lives in the United States, and accused the magistrate of wanting to disturb the campaign for the October 25 runoff against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The senator also called Moraes an "international human rights violator", accusing him of persecuting US citizens and businesses and denying that Eduardo bears responsibility for the American sanctions against the judge. Flávio called for the magistrate's resignation and argued that the Senate must intervene to protect the Supreme Court, saying that almost 50 senators are in favor of his impeachment.
