Former President Bolsonaro To Testify
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | April 26, 2023


Former President Bolsonaro will testify over the Jan. 8 attacks on government buildings in the capital at the Federal police headquarters.

Thousands of Bolsonaro supporters trashed the presidential palace, the Supreme Court and Congress one week into President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s third term in office.

Bolsonaro was in Florida during the attacks, but prosecutors want to know whether he encouraged his supporters to wreak havoc. Hundreds are in jail awaiting trial, but hundreds of others have been released.

Bolsonaro has denied any wrongdoing.
