Eduardo Bolsonaro fails to appear for Supreme Court interrogation

2 sources · 15 Apr 2026

Eduardo Bolsonaro failed to appear on Tuesday (14th) for an interrogation scheduled by the Supreme Court in a criminal case for coercion in the course of proceedings. The testimony was to be conducted by videoconference, but he did not enter the virtual room.

Eduardo Bolsonaro faces charges of coercion in legal proceedings, accused by prosecutors of coordinating with the US government to impose sanctions on Brazil and judicial authorities. The prosecution argues that Eduardo attempted to obstruct investigations into attempted coup charges for which his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, was convicted by the Supreme Court.
