The Brazilian Supreme Court has agreed to include former president Jair Bolsonaro in the investigation of who instigated the January 8 riots in the national capital as a part of larger crackdown on responsible parties. A BBC report stated that Justice Alexandre de Moraes granted the request from prosecutor-general's office which sought Bolsonaro be included in the probe over a now-deleted video he posted on Facebook two days after the riot.
