BRASILIA—Brazil’s federal police on Friday raided the house of the suspended governor of Brasilia, Ibaneis Rocha, who is under investigation for failing to prevent the storming of government buildings by supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Rocha was removed from office for 90 days by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes on Jan. 8 hours after the breach of the Congress, presidential place, and Supreme court.
