PT-Brazil investigates Bolsonaro’s son for absences as lawmaker

Brasilia, Oct 29 (Prensa Latina) Brazil's ruling Workers' Party (PT) demanded the Attorney General's Office take action against lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, for his repeated absences and suspicions of illicit enrichment.

Submitted to the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office by Lindbergh Farias, PT leader in the Chamber of Deputies, the document indicates that the congressman missed more than 72.5 percent of the assembly sessions this year and will not comply with the minimum attendance required by the internal regulations.

Self-exiled in the United States, Bolsonaro’s son is considering running for president in 2026 as his father’s sucesión.

The legal action requests to inquire into the lawmaker for potential harm to the exchequer, arguing that he is causing losses (by not working) and continues to receive his salary and other payments related to his term, despite his accounts being frozen by order of the Supreme Federal Court (STF).

The political organization insists on freezing his salary and benefits.
