Minister sends PGR requests to investigate Bolsonaro for alleged racist speeches

Minister Cármen Lúcia, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), sent the Attorney General’s Office two requests to investigate President Jair Bolsonaro for racist expression when addressing a black person by associating the weight of a black man with arrobas.

One of the requests was presented by federal deputy Orlando Silva (PCdoB-SP), who asked for the opening of an investigation against Bolsonaro for the crime of racism.

The other is from the leader of the PSOL in the Chamber, deputy Sâmia Bomfim, who, along with the other members of the bench, presented on May 13 a crime report against the president.

On the occasion, the president asked how many “at” a black supporter, who was present at the time, weighed.

“They managed to lift you, huh? What do you weigh, more than seven arrobas, right?” asked Bolsonaro.

Wanted, the Planalto Palace has not yet manifested.
