Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro scored a legal win on Thursday after the country's prosecutor-general tossed a federal police investigation that accused him of falsifying his COVID-19 vaccination status.
The decision of Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet came one day after a panel of Supreme Court justices ruled that Bolsonaro and seven of his allies will stand trial on five counts, including attempting to stage a coup after the far-right leader lost the 2022 election.
