PF report concludes that Bolsonaro committed a crime by disclosing false information about Covid-19;
In live, the Chief Executive associated the immunization vaccine against the disease with the AIDS virus;
Bolsonaro declined to testify on the matter and the material will be sent to the STF.
The Federal Police concluded in an investigation that President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) committed the crime of inciting crime by encouraging people not to wear face protection masks to avoid contamination by Covid-19.
The investigation was opened at the request of the Covid CPI and concerns a transmission on social networks in which the representative falsely associates the use of the vaccine against the disease with the development of the AIDS virus.
The final report points out that the Chief Executive chose not to testify. The material was forwarded to the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), Alexandre de Moraes. The information is from the newspaper O Globo.
The case must be concluded in the first judicial instance, since Bolsonaro will lose the privileged forum when he leaves the Presidency of the Republic next week.
refusal to testify
In August of this year, the PF asked Moraes for authorization to indict the Chief Executive and take his statement.
At the time, the partial report already pointed to incitement to crime by the agent, in addition to a criminal misdemeanor for causing non-existent alarm or danger by making a false association with the vaccine and the AIDS virus. However, the PF indicates that Moraes did not respond to the request.
The corporation also summoned the Attorney General’s Office (AGU) to seek Bolsonaro’s testimony, but received no response. With that, the report concluded with the indication that the president opted for the right to silence.
“For the reasons explained above, we concluded the present criminal investigation concluding that there was sufficient concrete evidence of authorship and materiality to attest that JAIR MESSIAS BOLSONARO and MAURO CESAR BARBOSA CID, in a public contest, committed the crimes of “causing alarm , announcing non-existent disaster or danger, or performing any act capable of producing panic or turmoil”, provided for in art. 41 of the Law on Criminal Misdemeanors, as well as “incitement to crime”, provided for in art. 286 of the Brazilian Penal Code”, concluded the PF.
