SAO PAULO/BRASILIA (Reuters) - Antonio Galvan, head of soybean grower lobby Aprosoja, is part of a group of 10 people under investigation for their alleged role in a conspiracy against Brazilian institutions including the Supreme Court, according to court records seen by Reuters. According to authorities, the people under investigation have incited the population through social networks to practice criminal and violent acts on the eve of the Sept. 7 national holiday, when Brazilians observe Independence day. Supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro have called for protests at the Supreme Court that day, and officials fear they might try to force their way in to occupy the building. Brazil s powerful farm lobby helped elect Bolsonaro in 2018, supporting his law-and-order stance, his opposition to environmental protections and indigenous land claims. Galvan is head of an organization representing some 240,000 farmers. The federal police carried out 29 search and seizure warrants on Friday,
