Brazil's Bolsonaro questioned in fake COVID-19 vaccine card probe
CGTN

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was questioned by federal police on Tuesday afternoon as part of an investigation into alleged falsification of COVID-19 vaccine cards to get around U.S. vaccination requirements.

Bolsonaro has denied wrongdoing, saying he neither claimed to be vaccinated nor presented documentation saying that he was.

Bolsonaro has been to the U.S. at least thrice after it began generally requiring in November 2021 that non-citizens be fully vaccinated to enter.

Earlier this month, Brazil's Federal Police raided Bolsonaro's residence and seized his cell phone as part of the investigation.
