The Brazilian Supreme Court on Tuesday unsealed an indictment against disgraced former President Jair Bolsonaro and 16 accomplices for faking his COVID-19 vaccination record, the AP reports on the first but probably not the last criminal case the “Trump of the Tropics” will have to face.
Brazil’s justice system leaves the prosecutor-general’s with the final say on whether or not to actually bring the charges, so it’s not like Bolsonaro and his goons – accused of tampering with the vax records during his post-defeat lame duck period in 2022 – is definitely facing trial as of this moment, though it’s hard to see how the leftist Lula government isn’t going to put a hurting on Jair.
