The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes determined this Friday (14) that the Federal Police hear former president Jair Bolsonaro about the acts of January 8. The minister gave a period of 10 days for the deposition to be carried out. The decision took place in the investigation that investigates the actions of alleged instigators and masterminds of acts of vandalism and depredation that took place in Brasília.

Moraes complied with a request for a hearing made by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) in January, GloboNews reported. “I order the Federal Police to proceed with the hearing of Jair Messias Bolsonaro, within a maximum period of 10 days, and the PGR must be notified in advance of the scheduled day to, if necessary, accompany the hearing,” wrote Moraes.

The former president was included in the investigation for sharing, two days after the acts of vandalism, a video questioning, without evidence, the electoral process and the victory of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) in the 2022 elections.
