Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) Minister Nunes Marques closed the criminal complaint filed against former President Jair Bolsonaro on May 14, alleging that he interfered with the Covid-19 Congressional Inquiry Commission (CPI). The decision was made after accepting the view of the Attorney General's Office (PGR) not to process the file. The Prosecutor's Office had concluded that there were no elements of corruption or crime in the aforementioned actions.
The criminal complaint was filed by Psol deputies following a leaked phone conversation between Bolsonaro and then-Senator Jorge Kajuru. In the conversation, Bolsonaro argued that the Covid commission should investigate the actions of governors and mayors, in addition to the federal government's pandemic processes. It is also stated that Bolsonaro expressed concern that the commission could solely target his government and prepare a critical report.
Then-Acting Attorney General Augusto Aras, who evaluated the file, argued that this dialogue was merely an ordinary exchange of ideas between two officials. While Aras's report stated that Bolsonaro did not offer any illegal advantage, the STF Minister ruled that there was no need to initiate an investigation due to the prosecution's failure to find any criminal element.
