Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes included this matter in a process on the dissemination of false news and attacks on institutions and determined that the Federal Police investigate the president’s attitude.

However, the far-right president did not show up to testify, revealing that he is the victim of persecution by the high court.

The document sent by the Federal Police says that, despite having verified that Bolsonaro committed a “crime”, a possible formal accusation should be presented by the Attorney General due to the immunity that protects an incumbent president.
