TL;DR Summary

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been indicted on allegations of faking his COVID-19 vaccination card to travel to the U.S., facing potential charges of fraud and criminal association. Brazilian police claim the fraudulent card was made by a top deputy after Bolsonaro's election loss, with evidence suggesting it was printed from an IP address inside Brazil's presidential palace. Bolsonaro, who has faced multiple legal issues since losing the 2022 election, could potentially be prosecuted and barred from running for office for at least eight years. The allegations, if proven, could lead to prison time for the ex-president, who has been accused of spreading lies about Brazil's voting systems and faces a federal investigation into a potential military takeover plot.
