Bolsonaro Investigated for Alleged Whale Harassment

The former Brazilian president faces legal scrutiny over a 2023 incident, amidst broader challenges including a political office ban.

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is under investigation for allegedly harassing a humpback whale off Sao Paulo's coast.
Bolsonaro denies the allegations, claiming he kept a distance and did not bother the whale.
The investigation adds to a series of legal challenges for Bolsonaro, including a ban from running for office until 2030 and allegations of plotting a coup.
Bolsonaro's supporters see the investigation as political persecution.
Legal experts suggest Bolsonaro could face a fine if found guilty of approaching the whale too closely.
