Seven of the eleven senators who participated in the investigation endorsed that report, which accused Bolsonaro of nine crimes, including “crimes against humanity”, “charlatanism” and “incitement to crime”.
From the beginning of the health emergency, Bolsonaro tried to avoid restrictive measures to contain the virus, defended drugs without proven scientific efficacy -such as hydroxychloroquine- and questioned the advisability of vaccination.
The leadership of the commission had sent the conclusions of the report, in addition to the ICC, to local authorities, such as the Supreme Federal Court (STF, supreme court) of Brazil.
