Brazil's intelligence agency, Abin, allegedly spied on judiciary, lawmakers, and journalists during former President Jair Bolsonaro's administration, according to an investigation by federal police. The police executed five preventative arrest warrants to dismantle a "criminal organization" that illegally monitored public authorities, produced fake news, and accessed computers and telecommunications infrastructure. While Bolsonaro is not formally accused of ordering espionage, authorities suspect his knowledge of the scheme. The evidence suggests a wider criminal organization focused on attacking opponents, institutions, and Republican systems.
