STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSBRASILIA - Brazilian federal authorities on Friday arrested leaders of the capital's military police in a raid carried out as part of an investigation into the Jan. 8 riots, in which supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings.
The military police commander for the federal district, Klepter Rosa, was arrested along with former commander Colonel Fabio Augusto Vieira and five other top officials. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who authorized the raid, said in his decision that there was"significant evidence" that the military police authorities had"advance knowledge" of the preparations for the riots.
Moraes added the officials"maliciously failed to act, giving way to the coup-plotting purposes of the anti-democratic horde that attacked the three branches of the Republic."
