Jair Bolsonaro Indicted for Falsifying Vaccination Certificates

The former Brazilian president faces multiple legal challenges, including his controversial handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and alleged involvement in a January uprising.

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro faces his first indictment since leaving office, accused of falsifying COVID-19 vaccination certificates.
The indictment also probes Bolsonaro's alleged involvement in a January 8 uprising and attempts to smuggle expensive jewelry into Brazil.
Bolsonaro's actions during the COVID-19 pandemic, including dismissing vaccines and flouting health restrictions, are under scrutiny.
Bolsonaro's political base remains loyal despite the indictment, which could lead to a trend of convictions and potential arrest.
Brazil's top electoral court has ruled Bolsonaro ineligible to run for office until 2030, citing abuse of power during the 2022 campaign.
