BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's top public prosecutor's office is unlikely to accept a request made by President Jair Bolsonaro to investigate Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

The request, which is under judicial secrecy, is still being analyzed and is unlikely to be accepted by the prosecutor, the source added.
