Brazil's Supreme Court froze Eduardo Bolsonaro's assets amid a U.S. conduct probe. Eduardo criticized the decision, while Trump linked tariffs to a 'witch hunt.'
SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the freezing of the accounts and assets of former President Jair Bolsonaro's third son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, the latter said in a post on social media on Monday.
Eduardo, a Brazilian congressman who has been in Washington to drum up support for his father, called the decision in a post on X "another arbitrary and criminal decision" by Moraes.
CNN Brasil reported that the confidential decision was issued on Saturday as part of a probe into Eduardo Bolsonaro's conduct in the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump has tied the imposition of steep tariffs on Brazilian goods on what he called a "witch hunt" against the former Brazilian president. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week revoked the visas of "Moraes and his allies on the court, as well as their immediate family members."
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the former president wear an ankle bracelet and banned him from using social media, among other measures over allegations he courted Trump's interference on the case.
