BRASILIA (Reuters) -Carlos Bolsonaro, one of the sons of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, was targeted by federal police raids on Monday as part of their probe into suspected illegal spying during his father's term, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Federal police, who are investigating accusations of illegal monitoring of citizens by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) during Bolsonaro's 2019-22 administration, served search and seizure warrants against Carlos, according to the sources.
