The National Congress of Brazil has launched a parliamentary inquiry into President Jair Bolsonaro’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
A group of Senators will scrutinise the government’s overall handling of the crisis which could torpedo Mr Bolsonaro’s chances of re-election.
Brazil has recorded the world’s second highest death toll at more than 392,000 fatalities and the third highest number of infections.
