Brazil police to probe defense ministry link to 2022 election hacker -source

BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's Federal Police will investigate a suspected plan by defense ministry officials to draw up a report during the 2022 election campaign to support then President Jair Bolsonaro's baseless allegations that electronic voting machines were vulnerable to fraud, a police source said on Tuesday.

The source, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters that investigators expect to call on retired General Paulo Sergio Nogueira, who was Bolsonaro's defense minister at the time, to testify.
