It’d be great to see all far-right criminals brought to justice. But, as ever, I’ll temper my expectations until it happens.
All the bullshit he’s done and it’s trinkets that might do it.
Because thats what gets his followers. 700+k deaths of covid and the motherfucker don’t bother to answer Pfizer? Cool, vaccines are fake anyway. Try to create doubt about our election process? Neat, the most secure voting machine is hard to trust. Try a coup? Nice, communism ghost and all. Have his fingerprints all over some murders, old and new? Hi didn’t know he was living wall to wall to murders. Hate speech? He speaks as a jest.
But theft? Yeah… How can a justice paladin be so enloved with what shines?
Can play dumb when its a low crime. Rot in some cell, fucker.
Nah, bolsominions just argue that they were gifted to him, so he has the right to do whatever and then ask about the PT (labor party).
Sigh… You are right.
You’re way overthinking it. He and his followers are hardcore capitalists, and to them, property crimes are the worst kind of crime you can commit.
Beeing a historian AND Brazilian, I’ve been overthinking this scum for the past years :(
They got Capone on tax evasion
Eh, end result is the same, he can’t get re-elected. Which to me is more than enough.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Many in Brazil believe those words may soon come back to haunt the far-right populist, amid growing speculation Bolsonaro could be close to arrest thanks to a tangle of criminal investigations and scandals involving luxury watches, phoney vaccination records, a four-star general, a computer hacker and a botched military coup.
On Thursday, Bolsonaro and seven close associates – including his wife and his former right-hand man – were questioned by federal police over a suspected embezzlement and money laundering scheme in which investigators believe expensive gifts from foreign governments were smuggled out of Brazil on the presidential jet and sold in the US.
Bolsonaro’s critics have long demanded his jailing for what they consider his reckless and criminal behaviour as president: the explosion of environmental destruction and fake news, his delay in buying vaccines during a Covid pandemic that killed 700,000 people, and his alleged role in Brasília’s 8 January riots.
Those gifts include a diamond-set Rolex and a Patek Philippe watch given by Saudi Arabia and Bahrain that Lt Col Cid is believed to have sold at a Pennsylvania shopping mall for $68,000.
But speculation is rife that Bolsonaro’s former aide, who has reportedly spent 24 hours talking to police over the last week, is helping investigators and has been negotiating a “partial confession” as part of a possible plea bargain.
Reports suggest the agreement could involve details of the alleged plot to overturn Lula’s election win and claims Bolsonaro asked a notorious hacker to invade Brazil’s electronic voting system.
