Former President Jair Bolsonaro said he’ll end his extended U.S. vacation at the end of March to return to Brazil, where he’ll face a dozen criminal investigations involving allegations of corruption and fomenting anti-democratic acts.
Bolsonaro said in a video released late Thursday that he’ll fight for the conservative cause with his Liberal Party and “return to normal activity” in politics in the nation’s capital. A flight “is pre-scheduled to land in Brasilia at 7 a.m. on March 30,” he told reporters. “It’s almost certain.”
The head of Bolsonaro’s party confirmed the information in a Twitter post on Friday. Bolsonaro will land when his chief rival, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is expected to be out of the country in an official trip to China.
