Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro faces serious accusations of creating an illegal spying network that targeted rivals, journalists, and environmentalists during his term from 2019 to 2023. Following a two-year investigation by federal police, it is alleged that a clandestine intelligence agency was formed to surveil these individuals. Bolsonaro's former spy chief, Alexandre Ramagem, and over 30 others have been implicated, with evidence suggesting unauthorized access to private communications. Analysts predict Bolsonaro's conviction is likely as he also contends with potential jail time for related coup allegations post-2022 election loss.
