SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil's federal police indict ex-President Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association, source confirms.

When Brazil is the one with the functional government... 🙄

Brazil has had multiple socialist democracies that we successfully couped to death so they are absolutely capable of a functional government unlike this raggedy country

Oh I'm well aware. My sister lived there on and off for years. Yet another country fucked up by our "better our brutal/incompetent dictator than the socialist's benign president" policies

I have a feeling they’ll achieve utopia before we do 😢

Came here to say this

I have to say it is fucking bizarre to see South America become the bastion of "hold terrible political folks accountable" given America's full blown attempt to keep the continent in the dark ages via their CIA involvement.

Don’t worry, I’m sure SCOTUS will find a way to intervene

Well, now. Come on. A President *can* be convicted of crimes if they’re outside of his official duties. But you just can’t use anything done while he was President as evidence to prove it since it’s presumed to be official. See how fair the Roberts court is bing about this? /s

Bozonaro doesn't need presidential immunity, he can run away to the Hungarian embassy 🤣🤣🤣 www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Brazil Justice says no evidence Bolsonaro sought asylum in Hungarian embassywww.reuters.com Brazilian Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes on Wednesday closed an investigation into whether former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro sought asylum at the Hungarian embassy in February, citing lack of evidence.

I do not think that Brazil's government is what I would call "functional"
