Story summary

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice issued an arrest warrant for Eduardo Bolsonaro, brother of presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, on charges related to lobbying efforts against his father's trial. Eduardo, 42 and currently living in Texas with a green card, was sentenced in June to four years in prison for urging the Trump administration to impose sanctions and higher tariffs during former President Jair Bolsonaro’s legal troubles over alleged coup attempts. The United States has had an extradition agreement with Brazil since 1961, but it's unclear if this applies to Eduardo's case. This development comes weeks before a runoff election between incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro, who is favored to win.
