Bolsonaro is indicted by the PF for Covid vaccination card fraud

This Tuesday (19), the Federal Police (PF) indicted former president Jair Bolsonaro for fraud with a vaccination card for Covid-19. In January, the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) concluded that the record of immunization against the disease on Bolsonaro’s vaccination card is false. The investigation originated from a request to the Access to Information Law (LAI) made at the end of 2022.

Current data from the Ministry of Health, which appears on the vaccination card, indicates that the former president was vaccinated on July 19, 2021 at the Basic Health Unit (UBS) Parque Peruche, in the north of São Paulo. The CGU, however, found that Bolsonaro was not in the capital of São Paulo on that date and that the vaccination batch that appears in the folder’s system was not available on that date at the UBS where the immunization would have taken place.

On his profile on the social network X, formerly Twitter, Bolsonaro’s lawyer Fabio Wajngarten criticized the publication of the indictment. “Leaks continue in droves, or rather in liters. It is regrettable when the authority uses the press to communicate a formal act that logically should have a technical and procedural coating rather than a mediatic and partial one,” he wrote.
