Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), determined today (3) the opening of an inquiry into the live of President Jair Bolsonaro, held in October, in which information was shared about an alleged relationship between vaccines against covid. -19 and AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). In the same month, the live was removed from the air by Facebook because this relationship did not exist.

In the decision, the minister responded to the request for investigation made by the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) of the Pandemic. "I determine the opening of an inquiry to investigate the President of the Republic, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, and the lifting of the secrecy of these records, with its due and immediate notice and conversion to electronic means", decided the minister.

During the processing of the request, the Attorney General of the Union (AGU) argued that the CPI does not have postulancy capacity and the president of the Republic cannot undergo measures requested by the commission.

The Attorney General's Office (PGR) also spoke in the request and declared that the facts are the object of internal investigation by the body.

Agência Brasil contacted the Presidency of the Republic and is awaiting a return.
