President Jair Bolsonaro states that he is sure he will be the target of inquiries aimed at putting him in prison if he loses the elections. He also believes that his children could become easier targets for investigators if he leaves the Presidency of the country. Bolsonaro has repeated this speech to several interlocutors in Brasilia, including members of his own government.
The hypothesis would be making the president increasingly more restless and, according to people close to him, "upset" at times.
According to politicians and authorities who are not part of the government, but who have spoken with Bolsonaro in recent days, the chief executive has said that he will fight back and will not be arrested easily.
According to a minister in his government, Bolsonaro says that "they are dying" to see this (the prison) happen, but that he would know how to get around the situation by not being "naive" like his predecessors -Lula and Michel Temer were arrested after leaving the Planalto ( Government Headquarters').
