Bolsonaro Challenges Betting Inquiry Judge

Flávio Bolsonaro’s defence has asked Brazil’s Supreme Court to remove Justice Alexandre de Moraes from a money-laundering inquiry linked to betting operator BestBet. The senator and lawyer Willer Tomaz deny having a business relationship, and no charges have been filed against either man, according to NEXT.io. Bolsonaro’s lawyers filed three petitions on 30 October, according to O Globo reporting cited by Brasil 247. They argue that Justice André Mendonça should take over because he already supervises related inquiries involving lawyer Willer Tomaz.
