A Brazilian congressional panel's draft report recommends mass homicide charges against President Jair Bolsonaro over his handling of the pandemic
CNN Brasil received draft excerpts of a congressional investigation that accuses Bolsonaro and other government officials of allowing the lethal coronavirus to spread through the population in hopes of achieving herd immunity. More than 600,000 people have died of Covid-19 in Brazil, which has the second-highest death toll in the world after the United States.
In July, Bolsonaro accused the CPI of ignoring other allegations of corruption across Brazil to focus on him and his government."They want to accuse me of genocide. Now, tell me in what country people have not died? This CPI has no credibility," Bolsonaro said. He also said then that he was"sorry about the dead, but people who were healthy had little chance of dying.
