Supreme Court judge orders police to access banking records of several allies of president and rules that their social-media accounts be suspended
SÃO PAULO—Brazilian police searched the homes of several prominent businessmen allied with President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday as the Supreme Court probes the men for discussing a possible power grab in the event the conservative leader loses October’s presidential election.
A team of 35 police officers carried out search warrants across five states to gather evidence. Legal and political analysts said the operation was likely to inflame tensions over allegations of antidemocratic behavior on both sides of the political divide in this polarized country.
