New Scandal Hits Brazil's President-Elect Bolsonaro

Description

Reuters reports Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro has been rocked by scandal as new financial information has come to light involving the former driver of his son, Rio de Janeiro state lawmaker and Senator-elect Flavio Bolsonaro. Jair Bolsonaro, who spent nearly 30 years in Congress, is set to take office on January 1. Earlier this month, Brazil’s Council for Financial Activities Control identified Brazil's equivalent of approximately $305,000, that in 2016-17 flowed through the bank account of Flavio Bolsonaro’s driver. Some payments were made to the president-elect’s wife, Michelle Bolsonaro. The driver, Fabricio Queiroz, said in an interview on Wednesday that the money in his account was due to a side-business of buying and selling cars.
