CGU concludes investigations into the vaccination of the former President of the Republic

Summary

The Controladoria-Geral da Uniu00e3o (CGU) has concluded that the registration of vaccination against COVID-19 on the vaccination card of former President Jair Messias Bolsonaro is false. The investigation began after a request for information from the Certified National Vaccination Record (CNVC) was made by the then-Chief of the Executive Power, based on the Law No. 12,527/2011 (LAI). The CGU detected inconsistencies in the information provided by the Ministry of Health and launched an investigation to verify the facts, including possible involvement of federal public agents. The investigation revealed a possible fraud scheme involving the Secretariat of Government of Duque de Caxias (RJ) and the participation of federal and municipal public agents. The CGU concluded that the vaccination registration on July 19, 2021, at the UBS Parque Peruche in Su00e3o Paulo (SP) was a false record.
