Brazil's Supreme Court orders ex-president Jair Bolsonaro to testify before federal police over riots in the seat of power by his supporters on January 8

Bolsonaro, who denies any involvement in the riots, returned to Brazil on March 30 from US, vowing to oppose Lula's government.

"I grant the request by the prosecutor general's office and determine the federal police must take Jair Messias Bolsonaro's testimony within a maximum of 10 days," Moraes wrote in the ruling, obtained by the AFP news agency.But he had postponed a ruling on the request by prosecutors for Bolsonaro to be questioned, as the ex-president was in the US state of Florida at the time.

In scenes reminiscent of the January 6, 2021 riots in Washington by supporters of ex-president Donald Trump — Bolsonaro's political role model — they trashed offices, vandalised artworks and called for the military to intervene to oust Lula.
