RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The probe involving cash transfers into the account of President Jair Bolsonaro's son is not related to the government, Vice President Hamilton Mourao said on Sunday in an interview with Reuters.

"Flavio Bolsonaro has nothing to do with our government," Mourao said, referring to the former Rio de Janeiro lawmaker and senator-elect. Mourao became interim president on Sunday evening after Bolsonaro left for the World Economic Forum in Davos.
