Brazil’s supreme court said late Friday that former President Jair Bolsonaro will be investigated for allegedly inciting his far-right supporters to storm the Brazilian capital on Jan. 8.

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes approved the investigation request from the prosecutor-general’s office, citing Bolsonaro’s claims of election fraud.

Military officers stand guard in front of protesters at the Army Headquarters in Brasilia, Brazil on Jan. 9, 2023.Following the court’s late-night decision Friday, Bolsonaro’s attorney, Frederick Wassef, said in a statement that the ex-president “vehemently repudiates the acts of vandalism and destruction,” but said the riots were carried out by alleged “instigators” — a claim that his supporters have echoed.

Authorities have since announced they plan to expand their prosecution efforts to businesspeople who may have paid for rioters to travel to the capital and security personnel who stood idly by as rioters infiltrated the Supreme Court, Congress and presidential palace to try and overturn the election.

Torres was given three days to return to Brazil, or authorities will request his extradition, Justice Minister Flávio Dino said Friday. During a search of Torres’ home, federal police allegedly recovered a draft of a decree that, if signed by Bolsonaro, would have seized control of Brazil’s electoral authority and forced new elections.

By failing to initiate a probe against the document’s author or report its existence, Torres could be charged with dereliction of duty, Mario Sérgio Lima, a political analyst at Medley Advisors, told the Associated Press.

That was the leftists objective from the start. Leftist infiltrators did the violence. It was a false flag event. Real protesters were peaceful.

Gives Liz Cheney something to do now.

Haha another false flag just like J6😂

this is the same playbook as what the fuckin Dems did here in the USA..Who is behind all this unrest and upheaval?

Bahaha jam 8th riots

Totalitarian STAR CHAMBER is more accurate! Did some research. Brazil is the next Venezuela!

🦘

In Brazil the political division is supreme court on the left and Bolsonaro's party on the right

Sounds familiar 🤔

Bolsonaro attacked Brazil on January 8 and Trump attacked the United States on January 6. History Book: Former presidents who tried to overthrow their governments in January.

Haven’t we seen this scenario before…what did the DEMS do, send the J6 squad to Brazil!

Echos of Jan 6. Same signs are everywhere. Get the crowd angry and on edge. Use fake protestors to agitate and lead the rest into performing acts they otherwise wouldn’t have.

Supreme Court Dictatorship Alexandre de Moraes, please check today recent ggreenwald live show!! The event in Brazilia was Organic!! The people don't want censorship nor Comunism in Brazil, brazilwasstollen

But they allowed a corrupt conman govern the country.

Sad. He left the country, and instructed his people to have a peaceful transition. US commies are the same as Brazil's I guess.
