Brazil Court Authorizes Probe Into Lula’s Son

Justice André Mendonça granted the authorization following a request from federal police.

The investigation adds to political pressure on Lula’s government amid a series of corruption scandals.

Fabio Luis Lula da Silva has not been charged, and the presidency has not commented.

The case could have significant implications for Brazil’s political landscape.
