As reported by the guy himself, too:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald#2019_Operation_Car_Wash_Telegram_chat_leaks_in_Brazil

On June 9, 2019, Greenwald and journalists from investigative journalism magazine The Intercept Brasil where he was an editor, released several messages exchanged via Telegram between members of the investigation team of Operation Car Wash – called Car Leaks. The messages implicated members of Brazil's judiciary system and of the Operação Lava-Jato taskforce... in the violation of legal and ethical procedures during the investigation, trial and arrest of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with the alleged objective of preventing him from running for a third term in the 2018 Brazilian general election, among other crimes. The FBI was also involved.

...Greenwald faced death threats and homophobic harassment from Bolsonaro supporters due to his reporting on the Telegram messages...The Washington Post reported that Greenwald had been targeted with fiscal investigations by the Bolsonaro government, allegedly as retaliation for the reporting

...On August 9, after Bolsonaro threatened to imprison Greenwald for this reporting.
