Brazil’s Supreme Court authorized a review of former President Jair Bolsonaro's role in the Jan. 8 storming of the country's government offices in Brasilia.
On Friday, Justice Alexandre de Moraes approved a petition from prosecutors to add Bolsonaro to the government's inquiry into his supporters ransacking the National Congress, Supreme Court, and Presidential Palace in Brasilia. The attack was eerily reminiscent of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.Bolsonaro has trafficked in claims that malfeasance deprived him of victory against rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who was sworn in as president on New Year's Day.
The court's move marks the first time Bolsonaro has faced legal scrutiny since the riots took place. The court also approved a request from prosecutors to call on Meta to retain the video he shared on Facebook. Bolsonaro, who has been away in Florida since Dec. 30, denied culpability for the attack.
