(Adnkronos) – Brazil’s federal police have opened a ”terrorism” investigation into the man who blew himself up outside the Supreme Court in Brasilia. The target of the attack, according to initial findings, was Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, as testified by the suicide bomber’s ex-wife.
Speaking at an event, Moraes stated that the man suspected of the Brasilia attack was attempting to enter the Supreme Court to blow up the building. Moraes added that the “suicide” attack is the result of existing hatred against the Supreme Court and generated during the previous government of President Jair Bolsonaro that led his supporters to ransack the building in a riot on January 8 last year.
