RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Brazil have filed a motion that could block President Jair Bolsonaro's son from becoming ambassador to Washington.
The prosecutor's office in the capital is asking a regional federal court to specify that ambassadors must have diplomatic experience.
The motion filed Monday comes in response to complaints about plans to name 35-year-old congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro as ambassador to the U.S.
The U.S. government has signed off on the appointment but it has not yet been approved by the Senate.
