The scheme, known locally as rachadinha, involves hiring close associates as employees and then receiving a cut of their public salaries back from them.
Rio de Janeiro state prosecutors have formally pressed charges against federal Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the president's eldest son, over his alleged participation in a similar racket when he was a state lawmaker.
