Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is under investigation for allegedly harassing a humpback whale while riding a personal watercraft off São Paulo's coast last year. This is one of many legal challenges he faces, including a ban from running for office until 2030, an investigation for plotting a coup to remove his successor, and the seizure of his passport. Under Brazilian legislation, motored vessels must maintain a 100-meter distance from whales and other cetaceans. Any intentional attempts to get closer could lead to a prison sentence and fine.
