Brazil 'super minister' quit over Bolsonaro's alleged interference in the country's worst crisis yet, sparking chaos

Sergio Moro, the minister of Justice and Public Security under Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, quit and accused the president of potentially criminal meddling in law enforcement.

The shocking exit and allegations from the so-called 'super minister' were a hammer blow for Bolsonaro, whose popularity had already slumped for downplaying the pandemic that has killed more than 3,600 Brazilians and shows signs of worsening. Brazil's chief public prosecutor Augusto Aras asked the Supreme Court to open an investigation into the allegations.

Capitao Augusto, head of the gun lobby in Congress that has been key to the president's threadbare coalition, said this was the "beginning of the end" for Bolsonaro. "The exit of minister Sergio Moro from the government shows the Bolsonaro government distancing itself from the popular desire to fight corruption. It is the defeat of ethics," the centrist Podemos party said in a statement.

It is not 'alleged'. Bolsonaro wanted to replace the Federal Police Director in order to protect his sons from criminal investigations.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NATION ALLOWS ITS STATES TO DEFAULT... Hello A. Cuomo (you ARE problematic), & Pres Trump (time to time, you are too). NYGovCuomo realDonaldTrump

'The federal police is a state agency subsidized by a tax on the people, not a private company that has only one owner'. Bolsonaro wants information from investigations and to control the Brazilian Federal Police as if he were the only Owner.
