RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The son of Brazil's right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro said on Tuesday he was the target of a "defamatory campaign" after news reports that he employed the mother and wife of a fugitive former policeman accused of running a criminal organisation.

Flavio Bolsonaro, 37, a former Rio state lawmaker elected to the Senate in October, has already faced tough questions about a series of financial transactions involving him and his former driver and state assembly aide Fabricio Queiroz.
