Brazil's Supreme Court authorizes investigation of Lula's son for alleged influence peddling

The Supreme Court of Brazil authorized an investigation into Fabio Luis Lula da Silva, the son of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, over alleged influence trafficking related to the commercialization of medical cannabis. The investigation was initiated by the Federal Police and approved by Justice Andre Mendonca. Authorities suspect Fabio may have facilitated negotiations between a lobbyist and another businesswoman with Brazilian authorities. Investigations into Fabio began last year, and President Lula himself previously stated he would investigate his son if involved. Lula has emphasized that his son will not receive special treatment and must prove his innocence, just like he did during his own legal battles.
