Brazil's Supreme Court orders federal police probe into possible foreign funding of Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential campaign
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Flávio Dino ordered federal police to investigate possible foreign interference in the presidential election, including potential foreign financing of defeated candidate Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Bolsonaro in a runoff on Sunday. Dino said the order does not establish that illegal foreign financing occurred but that the allegations warrant investigation.
