Telegraph, 17 Jan 2023
Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, will be investigated by the country’s supreme court over whether he helped incite the mob that ransacked congress on Jan 8.
The news came as Anderson Torres, his former justice minister in charge of public security in Brasilia during the attack, was arrested on suspicion of “omission” and “connivance”.
Mr Torres was taken into custody after returning to Brazil from Florida, where Mr Bolsonaro is now staying following his election defeat.
