After the testimony of the deputy Miranda, the senators Randolfe Rodrigues, Jorge Kajuru e Fabiano Contarato had filed a complaint with the Supreme Court to ask for an investigation into the president. As per constitutional practice the judge Rosa Weber he had asked the attorney general for an opinion. For its part, in the first instance, the Pgr had asked to wait for the conclusion of the Cpi before opening a new line of formal investigation. However, in the opinion of Weber, the investigation of the parliamentary commission does not hinder the action of the prosecutor. Faced with this stance, the Pgr asked for the investigation to be initiated. Now it will be there Supreme Court to assess the position of the President.
However, this is not the only investigation linked to the purchase of vaccines by the government that sees the president at the center of the storm for omission in official acts. Search e cut supreme investigate a story that arose after the newspaper “Folha de S.Paulo” published an interview in which Luiz Paulo Dominguetti, representative of the Giving Medical Supply in Brazil, claimed that Roberto Days, director of the Logistics department of the Ministry of Health, would have asked for a bribe to lead the government to close the purchase of 400 million doses of the vaccine AstraZeneca. In detail, Days he would ask for a dollar for each dose included in the agreement. According to the reconstructions of the press also in this case Bolsonaro, informed of the story of which the then Minister of Health, the general, was also aware Eduardo Pazuello, had decided not to intervene.
Bolsonaro for its part, it has claimed its own strangeness to the accusations first defending himself (“I have no way of knowing what happens in the ministries. They are putting together a narrative that the government is involved in corruption cases”), then attacking (“It will not be with lies or with a CPI made up of 7 bandits , who will drive us out of here “).
Other formal accusations could however rain down on him at the end of the works of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on the Covid. After about two months of work by the 11 senators indicated to evaluate the negligence government in the pandemic, much evidence ‘with the force of law’ has already been gathered. From the idea of modifying the leaflet illustrative of chloroquine by inserting the Covid among the diseases treatable with this drug, to the responsibilities of the former minister Pazuello in the collapse of hospitals in Amazonia, until the proof of the 101 email sent by Pfizer to the government with the proposed purchase of vaccines to which the executive never replied. Again, any responsibility of the president that should emerge from the final report should pass through the filter dell’impeachement in Parliament.
