Brazil’s presidential race is unfolding as a close contest between centre-left incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and far-right Senator Flavio Bolsonaro. The Banco Master scandal, one of the country’s largest fraud cases in modern history, has implicated figures across politics, business, regulation and the judiciary. Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing, while polling suggests voters associate the scandal more with left-wing politicians.
