Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is due to testify to the Federal Police, early this Tuesday afternoon (16), in the investigation that investigates an alleged tampering with his vaccination card, discovered by the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) and which led to Operation Venire at the beginning of the month.

In the deposition, scheduled for 2 pm, Bolsonaro must explain whether he was aware of his and family members’ vaccination cards against Covid-19, such as his 12-year-old daughter and former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro.

On the day of the operation that arrested six people, including his former assistant, Mauro Cid, Bolsonaro said he was “surprised by the search and seizure” at his house, and that the action against a former president took place “to create a fact”.

The former first lady also said she was surprised by the operation and said that only she had been vaccinated in the United States.
