Carlos Bolsonaro shows his ransacked house and one detail: it has the flags of the USA and Israel on the wall.
The city councilman was the target of a Federal Police operation as part of an investigation into an illegal espionage scheme carried out by ABIN (Brazilian Intelligence Agency) during the Bolsonaro administration.
247 - Councilman Carlos Bolsonaro (Republicanos-RJ), son of Jair Bolsonaro, used social media to share a video of his residence in Rio de Janeiro after it was searched by the Federal Police as part of an investigation into an illegal espionage scheme targeting critics and opponents of the Bolsonaro government by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin). In the video, Carlos Bolsonaro says he found "many things turned upside down and left open." One detail, however, stands out: flags of the United States and Israel are part of the decoration in one of the rooms, signaling the Bolsonaro clan's alignment with US interests and the Israeli regime of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The day before, Bolsonaro had recorded a live video wearing an Israeli shirt. The Federal Police operation, launched on Monday (29), had Carlos Bolsonaro as its main target. This is part of an investigation into cases of illegal espionage by ABIN (Brazilian Intelligence Agency) during the Bolsonaro administration. The inquiry began after the press revealed, in March 2023, that the agency had contracted an Israeli spy program, FirstMile, to monitor, without legal basis, the movements of up to 10 cell phone owners every 12 months. The illegal monitoring targeted critics and opponents of the Bolsonaro government, politicians, and even ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF).
Carlos Bolsonaro was at his family home in Mambucaba, Angra dos Reis (RJ), when he learned of the operation. In addition to his residence, agents searched his political office, located in the North Zone of Rio, and his office in the City Council, in the center of the capital of Rio de Janeiro. The Federal Police seized the councilman's phone and three more computers that were in the family's vacation home.
