Police said in a statement that they conducted nine searches Monday as part of a broader investigation into the nation’s intelligence agency and alleged spying on political opponents under Jair Bolsonaro, who left office at the end of 2022. Carlos Bolsonaro’s lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
