Brasilia: The senator leading a inquiry into Brazil’s running of the COVID-19 epidemic has recommended that President Jair Bolsonaro face 13 felonious charges, including homicide, for opinions that allegedly encouraged the contagion’ spread and helped lead to further than deaths, according to a draft report seen by Reuters It remains largely doubtful, still, that Bolsonaro will face a trial on any similar charges, which would have to be brought by Brazil’s prosecutor general-a presidential designee. Bolsonaro has dismissed the inquiry as politically motivated.

The draft report from the inquiry prepared by Senator Renan Calheiros still needs to be suggested on by the Senate and could be nixed and altered. The vote is listed to take place coming week The administration didn’t incontinently respond to a request for comment Before on Tuesday, Bolsonaro told sympathizers the inquiry was a” joke”and said he wasn’t concerned about it Brazil has the alternate-loftiest death count due to COVID-19, behind only the United States. Bolsonaro has been extensively blamed by public health experts for rail against lockdowns, constantly refusing to wear a mask in public, and declaring he has not yet been vaccinated He has also pushed unproven remedies for the illness similar as antimalarial hydroxychloroquine The nearly runner document points to Bolsonaro as” basically responsible for the government’s crimes committed during the COVID-19 epidemic The report says that Bolsonaro acted against the advice of his Health Ministry in supporting the use of unproven remedies The other crimes the report alleges include genocide against Brazil’s indigenous population, misbehavior, irregular use of public finances, violation of aseptic measures, incitement to crime and phony of private documents The Health Ministry didn’t incontinently respond to a request for comment.
