According to AFP, "Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro has angrily denied links to last year's assassination of a prominent politician in Rio, after reports that a suspect in the murder investigation visited his residence before the killing". According to The Washington Post, Brazilian president had lashed "out at media over links to left-wing politician’s murder". According to Bloomberg, Bolsonaro was "furious as his name is cited in murder case".
President Bolsonaro has photos of militants linked to the Marielle murder, the president's sons also have a photo of these militiamen and their family members, some of whom worked in the offices of the president's sons, and his youngest son has dated the daughter of one of the militia members who has even been arrested.
Although the formal accusation is relatively fragile against Bolsonaro, since the president would be at the same time in Brasilia, at the National Congress, which is more than 1,100 kilometers away from the city of Rio de Janeiro, the very nervous reaction of the president showed that the information released by Rede Globo's Jornal Nacional has left Jair Bolsonaro visibly altered.
In his transmission on Facebook, the president made harsh criticism of Rede Globo media group, saying that this company made his life a living "hell". Bolsonaro even threatened to revoke the station's concession, which will have to be renewed in 2022.
Today, according to AP, Bolsonaro continued to say things in a tone far above the expected of a president. On his website, AP published that "Brazil’s president launched a fiery defense of his far-right government on Wednesday during a visit to Saudi Arabia".
