Eduardo Bolsonaro, a congressman… …..Eduardo Bolsonaro, who resides in the US, claimed he received news of the charges through the press

Could a US Congressman reside in Brazil? Don’t they need to be present to vote on anything?

No.
“Brazilian law, especially recent reforms and CVM instructions, has set up systems that permit remote voting via secure electronic means for members who cannot be physically present, and there is no requirement for residency within Brazil for elected legislators to exercise their vote remotely” (perplexity)

I hope the people who voted for that turd feel well represented.

Come on. Who would want to be a Brazillian congressman, if it meant you had to live in Brazil?

Obviously they want to attract the best, and making the successful candidates live in fucking Brazil, of all places, is hardly going to achieve that.

Bolsonaro senior was party to an aborted military coup. One of his co-conspirators was Eduardo, who left Brazil soon after the failed coup.

If Brazil had the death penalty, those two would be prime deserving candidates.
