A Brazilian federal judge has issued an arrest warrant for a former president in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities linked to a military pension scheme. The development follows a Supreme Court order requiring the former leader to surrender his passports as part of a separate money-laundering probe. Authorities allege the scheme involved the misuse of public funds, raising serious legal and political questions. The warrant marks an escalation in legal pressure against the high-profile figure amid multiple investigations.
News comes one day after Brazil's Supreme Court ordered Bolsonaro to hand over his passports in money-laundering probe.
