Brazil’s Supreme Court allows Jair Bolsonaro to be included in the investigation of the January 8 riots

Jair Bolsonaro, who has already condemned Sunday’s riots, is currently in the US.

Brasilia:

A judge in Brazil’s Supreme Court on Friday decided to include former President Jair Bolsonaro in an investigation into the January 8 vandalism of government buildings in Brasilia.

The prosecutor general’s office had requested that the ex-right-wing leader be included in the investigation into the origins of the attack on the presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court by thousands of Bolsonaro supporters last Sunday.
