This is CBSI on the World, The New World Report.

I'm John Batchelor.

I continue my conversation with my good colleague,

Professor Evan Ellis of the U.S. Army War College.

The drama and the promise and the mystery of Latin America

begins, must begin with the accusation again and again and again of a corrupt election

of an undermined leadership of leadership that is bought by outside forces.

And in Brazil, the headline, Bolsonaro's son and allies accused in Brazil's spy agency case, according to a

source, says Reuters, the explanation, which is itself very romantic. Former President Polsonero's

son and allies have been formally accused by Brazilian federal police after a probe into the alleged

surveillance of authorities by spy agency A-B-I-N during Bolsonaro's time and office.

Police statement confirmed that the investigation had concluded but did not mention names of suspects.

Professor, this is new to me, so I'm reading for the first time that the allegation goes against

Bolsonaro's son, not related to the prosecution of Bolsonaro for being part of, if not the

lead voice in an assassination and coup plan from the last election. This is quite fantastic.

Now, generally speaking, this is understood to be continued lawfare in order to

disenfranchise former President Bolsonaro from running an office again or endorsing someone

running an office again against a prospective candidacy of

either Lula de Silva or his successor next year. So what we're looking at here is completely new to me

to go after the man's son. This would be more appropriate if it was, say, 1525 and not 2025 to go after the heir apparent, the crown prince.

How does this help Lula de Silva?

How does it help anything to continue this?
