Willer Tomaz

Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the freezing of R$6 billion in assets and the cancellation of passports belonging to Willer Tomaz, a lawyer and friend of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, as part of an ongoing investigation. Moraes also broke banking and corporate secrecy on companies linked to Tomaz. Brazilian outlets are widely covering the scale of the asset block and its connection to the Bolsonaro family.

Brazilian outlet O Globo reports that an investigation into the business dealings of Willer Tomaz, an ally of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, could develop into a political crisis if Flávio Bolsonaro wins the election. The reporting links the probe to his electoral prospects, and discussion is growing in Brazil over what the investigation could mean for his political future.
