Brazil's Bolsonaro is the target of several probes, but his decisions are catching up to him first

Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro is target of several probes, but his Covid decisions catch up to him first. The actions around Covid that Brazil's former president took as former president, including allegedly falsifying his own data so it looked like he had gotten vaccinated are now focus of several investigations.

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro skipped the presidential sash in the final days of his term in December 2022. Instead of handing over the sash to his successor, he had decided to travel abroad. Bolsonar's COVID decisions are catching up to him first.

Cid and 15 others were accused of involvement in the scheme to falsify records for themselves and others. Bolsonaro wasn't the only one one indicted on Tuesday: Cid was accused of falsifying records for himself and others. Cid, 15 others, were also charged with the scheme.

Jair Bolsonaro is the first in Brazil's recent history to pursue an explicitly anti-environmental agenda. Since taking office in January 2019, he has promoted deforestation in the Amazon for the sake of economic development. Since U.S. President Joe Biden took office in 2021, Bolsonara has slightly moderated his discourse, but has changed little.
