Brazil’s Attorney General Jorge Messias on Oct. 1 asked federal police and the
The federal prosecutor’s office to investigate a Guardian report that the U.S.
government allegedly provided $1m to fund civil groups campaigning against the

the allegations extremely serious amid a critical election phase and said
foreign political forces must not be allowed to interfere with Brazilian
institutions or affect voters’ choices.
