Brazil’s former leader Jair Bolsonaro has been indicted by the country’s federal police on suspicion of fraud over allegations that he falsified Covid-19 vaccination data while he was still president, affiliate CNN Brasil reported Tuesday. Police say the far-right leader allegedly ordered one of his closest aids to enter false vaccination data into the Ministry of Health’s system for himself and his daughter, according to CNN Brasil.
At the time, Bolsonaro told reporters he had not been vaccinated against Covid-19 and that his vaccination card had not been tampered with. Brazil’s Prosecutor’s Office will now have to determine if they move forward with the indictment. Bolsonaro was widely criticized at home and abroad for downplaying the severity of the virus during the pandemic, including discouraging people from getting vaccinated, despite Brazil battling a severe coronavirus outbreak.
