Brazil’s Supreme Court decided on Jan. 13 to include former President Jair Bolsonaro in an investigation into the Jan. 8 storming of government buildings by rioters in Brasilia.
“Public figures who continue to cowardly conspire against democracy trying to establish a state of exception will be held accountable,” Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who agreed to the request from federal prosecutors to have Bolsonaro be included in the probe, said in a statement.
