A Rio de Janeiro court authorized prosecutors to review 12 years of bank records belonging to Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, President Jair Bolsonaro’s eldest son, as part of a probe into alleged financial misconduct, local paper O Globo reported.

The authorization lifts the seal on records for Flavio Bolsonaro, his wife, their chocolate company, his former aide, as well as the aide’s wife and daughters, Globo reported. The press office of both Rio de Janeiro’s state prosecutors and justice system declined to comment.
