A Brazilian labor prosecutor on Friday told the mayor of a major agribusiness town to stop directing companies "to suggest, influence or induce" workers to vote for specific candidates, after he called on business leaders to drum up votes for right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro.
Prosecutor Mariana Casagranda issued the order, seen by Reuters, as part of a preliminary probe of Mayor Joao Rodrigues of Chapeco, a hotbed for Brazil's meatpacking industry.
