TL;DR Summary

Brazilian police searched the home of former President Jair Bolsonaro and seized his phone as part of an investigation into alleged falsification of COVID-19 vaccine cards. Several other locations were also searched, and a half dozen people faced arrest. The investigation focuses on cards altered to comply with U.S. vaccine requirements to enter the country. Bolsonaro spent months sowing doubt about the efficacy of the vaccine and defiantly refusing to get a shot. The search adds to Bolsonaro’s mounting legal headaches, including investigations into his potential role in sparking the Jan. 8 uprising by his supporters in the capital and his unsubstantiated claims that the nation’s electronic voting system is susceptible to fraud.
