A Brazilian Senate committee recommends that President Bolsonaro face a series of criminal indictments for actions and omissions related to the world’s second highest Covid-19 death toll.
The president has denied wrongdoing, and the decision on whether to file most of the charges will be up to Prosecutor-General Augusto Aras, a Bolsonaro appointee who is widely viewed as protecting him. The allegation of crimes against humanity would need to be pursued by the International Criminal Court.
Since the start of the pandemic, Bolsonaro has sabotaged local leaders’ restrictions on activity aimed at stopping the virus’ spread, saying the economy needed to keep humming so the poor did not suffer worse hardship. He also has insistently touted an anti-malaria drug long after broad testing showed it isn’t effective against Covid-19, assembled crowds without wearing masks and sowed doubt about vaccines.courageous enough to defy political correctnessThe report’s author, Sen.
It also adds an additional violation for allegedly spreading false news following Bolsonaro’s live broadcast on social media last weekthat people in the U.K. who received two vaccine doses are developing AIDS faster than expected.
