This week we’re heading to a Brazilian hospital — more specifically, the bedside of former President Jair Bolsonaro — to bring you an exploration of the disgraced, grotesque and criminal Bolsonaro family. We’ll be learning how the melted Brazilian right wing emerged from a post-80s yearning for military dictatorship. How the police, criminal right-wing militias and politicians formed an unholy alliance. And how, unfortunately, this corrupt and violent blob led to the brutal murder of a socialist city council woman and human rights activist in Rio de Janeiro. Along the way we’ll be talking about jewel smuggling, whale molesting, and a bouquet of failsons. Our guest writer for this very special episode is Caio Almendra, who’s an editor at The Intercept Brasil.
