More than 400 people have been arrested in Brazil as of late Jan. 8 after protesters breached and attacked the nation’s Congress, the Supreme Court, and presidential palace in the capital of Brasilia, a week after the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Multiple videos from local broadcasters and groups related to Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, showed rioters inside the presidential palace, and smashing furniture in Congress and the Supreme Court. Security forces were initially overwhelmed by the rioters.
