Brazil police serve search warrant against former President Bolsonaro
BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's federal police served on Friday search warrants at former President Jair Bolsonaro's home and the headquarters of his Liberal Party, Bolsonaro's press office said.
Police in a statement said they had served warrants ordered by the country's Supreme Court, but did not name Bolsonaro.
U.S. President Donald Trump has pressed Brazil to stop a legal case against Bolsonaro, saying that his former ally was the victim of a "witch hunt".
Bolsonaro, who was friendly with Trump when they were both in office, is on trial before Brazil's Supreme Court on charges of plotting a coup to stop President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office in January 2023.

Only 73 Aid Trucks Allowed Into Gaza As Famine Expands, Authorities Say

REUTERS/Dawoud Abu Alkas Palestinians carry aid supplies that entered Gaza through Israel, in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, July 27, 2025. REUTERS/Dawoud Abu Alkas ISTANBUL, July 28 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Local authorities in Gaza said on Sunday that only 73 aid trucks entered the besieged enclave in the last 24 hours, amid a deepening famine caused by Israel's months-long blockade, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. In a statement, the government media office said the humanitarian crisis has reached unprecedented levels, with at least 133 people, including 87 children, dying from hunger since the start of the Israeli genocidal war. The office accused Israel of deliberately engineering chaos and hunger in the territory. bootstrap slideshow 'The famine is expanding at an alarming rate and now affects the entire population of Gaza, including 1.1 million children,' the statement said. While several governments and international organisations have announced plans to deliver hundreds of aid trucks to Gaza, the statement said that only 73 trucks have arrived, and many of those were looted or obstructed under Israeli surveillance. The media office said three airdrops were carried out over Gaza, but their total payload was equivalent to only two aid trucks. The drops landed in 'red zones' -- active combat areas marked on Israeli maps -- where civilians cannot safely retrieve supplies, it added. 'What is happening is a farce,' the office said, accusing the international community of complicity through 'false promises' and 'misleading information' coming from major powers like the United States (US). It renewed its call for the unconditional reopening of border crossings and the immediate entry of food, water, and infant formula.
