Close Adviser to Bolsonaro's Son Arrested in Brazilian Corruption Probe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Brazil, authorities in São Paulo have arrested the former adviser and
driver of Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of far-right President Jair
Bolsonaro. Prosecutors say between 2016 and 2017 Fabrício Queiroz ran a
scheme of paying salaries to phantom employees while working at the
office of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who was at the time a Rio de Janeiro
state lawmaker.
