Riots in Brazil: Bolsonaro will have to testify

The far-right former Brazilian president will be questioned. Jair Bolsonaro will have to testify within ten days in the case of the riots of January 8, ordered a judge of the Federal Supreme Court. "Jair Messias Bolsonaro must be heard by the federal police within a maximum of ten days," said the decision of magistrate Alexandre de Moraes.

Last October, Lula won the presidential ballot by a narrow margin, with 50.9% of the vote against 49.1% for Jair Bolsonaro. On January 8, a week after the inauguration of the left-wing head of state, thousands of individuals refusing the defeat of the far-right ex-president stormed the Presidential Palace, the Congress and the Supreme Court.
