Today, April 28, Brazil’s Supreme court gave permission for an investigation against the President of the country Zaire Bolsonaro, who is accused of interference in work of law-enforcement bodies of the country and obstructing justice, reports Reuters.Charges against the head of state put forward, the now former Minister of justice Sergio Mora, who resigned last Friday. He stated that the reason for her disagreement with the President and the dismissal of the head of the Federal police Mauricio Lace Valasu. According to Mr. Mora, this dismissal was connected with the anti-corruption investigation that leads the police against the sons of the President. Mr. Mora also accused the President of falsifying documents, saying that his electronic signature on the decree about removal from a post of the head of the police was a fake.”[The President] cannot be exempted from criminal liability for their actions because no one, including the chief Executive of the country cannot be above the Constitution and laws of the Republic”,— reads the statement of the Supreme court of Brazil. The judge ordered an investigation into the allegations of Mr. Mora within 60 days. After the inspection, the Prosecutor’s office will make a decision whether to present formal charges to the President. The indictment against the President must also be approved by the lower house of Congress, so the case was referred to the Supreme court. In this case, Mr. Bolsonaro will be temporarily dismissed from his post for a period up to 180 days. If the fault of the President will be proved, he may lose his job through impeachment.However, the likelihood of such a scenario is unlikely, given that the chamber of deputies of the Congress controlled by the President’s supporters. In this case, if the prosecution of the former Minister of justice is confirmed, he will be held accountable for false accusations against the President. Mister Bolsonaro charges in the address considers baseless, saying that never tried to put pressure on the police to shield your family members.Mr. Mora became the second Minister who left the Cabinet in two weeks. Informed about his resignation was announced by the Minister of health of Brazil Luis Enrique Mandetta.
