Eduardo Bolsonaro has been suspended from his position as a Federal Police clerk in Brazil amid an ongoing disciplinary process over his unjustified absences.
The Regional Corregedoria of the Federal Police in Rio de Janeiro has suspended former federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro from his position as a clerk in the Federal Police station in Angra dos Reis. This suspension is effective until the conclusion of a Disciplinary Administrative Process (PAD) initiated on January 27 of this year, which investigates his unjustified absences from duty. Bolsonaro has been residing in the United States since February 2025, claiming he is being persecuted by the Brazilian Justice System.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, is currently facing legal challenges as he is involved in a separate court case related to coercion during his actions in the United States against Brazilian authorities. The PAD could potentially lead to his dismissal from federal service, highlighting significant repercussions for Bolsonaro amidst his controversial background and political ties.
The suspension was formalized in Portaria nº 142, issued on February 10, 2026, by the regional corregedor of the Federal Police, which also instructs Eduardo to surrender his functional badge. This situation underscores the tensions between Bolsonaro and the Brazilian legal system, as well as the impact of his actions while abroad on his career and reputation in Brazil.
