Ex-minister Anderson Torres is wanted under Supreme Court warrant for alleged"collusion" with thousands of Bolsonaro fans who ransacked presidency, Congress and Supreme Court in a violent rejection of new President Lula da Silva.
Torres, who was Bolsonaro's last justice minister, also stands accused of "omission" in his most recent job as security chief for the capital Brasilia which was the target of the destructive ire of protesters.Like his former boss Bolsonaro, Torres was in the United States when the riots erupted, and is expected back in Brazil any day.
It comes as the office of Brazil's prosecutor general [PGR] moved to include Bolsonaro in an investigation of people suspected of "instigation and intellectual authorship" of the January 8 sacking of government buildings. Dino said the document connected the dots between Lula's October 30 election victory and the January 8 riots.
