Brazil's federal police have charged ex-President Jair Bolsonaro and his son Carlos over alleged illegal surveillance operations by the spy agency ABIN, during Bolsonaro's presidency.

In a detailed investigation, police accused a network of criminal activities, including illegal monitoring of authorities and generating fake news, now brought before the supreme court under seal.
