In his testimony before the Federal Police in Brasília, he denied having ordered false vaccination data to be entered into the system of the Ministry of Health, as reported by the Brazilian news portal “G1” and the Brazilian newspaper “Folha de S. Paulo” on Tuesday (local time). . Accordingly, Bolsonaro also said he had no reason to do so and was not even aware that wrong data had been entered.
Bolsonaro was heard in the context of investigations into a criminal organization that the federal police allegedly entered false corona vaccination data into the “ConecteSUS”. According to broadcaster TV Globo, the vaccination data of Bolsonaro, his daughter Laura and his former adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid Barbosa, among others, have been falsified.
For example, it was possible to issue vaccination certificates for people who were actually not vaccinated and to get around travel restrictions in Brazil and the US, for example. Bolsonaro, his daughter Laura and his ex-adjutant Cid would have benefited from this. The police therefore searched the house of the Brazilian ex-president on May 3.
The right-wing politician had repeatedly questioned the danger of the coronavirus and the effectiveness of vaccinations during the pandemic. Shortly before his successor Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took office on New Year’s Day, Bolsonaro traveled to the US and did not return to South America until late March. (sda/dpa)
