A Brazilian judge has authorized an arrest warrant for the brother of a presidential candidate, a move that could intensify political tensions just weeks ahead of the country’s high-stakes runoff election. The warrant follows an ongoing investigation into alleged financial irregularities linked to the candidate’s campaign, raising concerns about potential interference in the electoral process. Legal experts warn the timing may influence voter perceptions as Brazilians prepare to decide between two divisive candidates. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the individual will be detained before the election.
