"Brazil's Bolsonaro Indicted for Alleged Falsification of Vaccination Data"

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been indicted for allegedly falsifying his COVID-19 vaccination data, marking the first indictment for the embattled far-right leader. The federal police indictment alleges that Bolsonaro and 16 others inserted false information into a public health database to make it appear as though he and his circle had received the COVID-19 vaccine. Brazil’s prosecutor-general’s office will decide whether to file charges against Bolsonaro at the Supreme Court. If convicted, he could face up to 12 years in prison. This indictment is part of several investigations targeting Bolsonaro, including allegations of involvement in an uprising and attempting to sneak expensive jewelry into Brazil.
