Brazil's top court orders police probe into alleged foreign election interference

Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Flávio Dino ordered the Federal Police on Tuesday to investigate alleged foreign interference and financing in Brazilian elections. The investigation will examine possible U.S.-origin funds during the electoral period and alleged algorithmic manipulation by internet companies to favor or harm candidates. It also targets Rockbridge Network's suspected negotiations to direct financial support to Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign. Dino cited intensified signs of foreign meddling, noting constitutional bans on parties receiving foreign resources. He also highlighted the need to clarify links between electoral support and foreign economic interest in Brazil's rare earths and critical minerals.
