Jorge Oliveira, Childhood Friend of Bolsonaro’s Sons, Will Be Minister of Justice
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – According to CNN’s political analyst Basília Rodrigues, the attorney and Federal District State Police (PMDF) reserve major, Jorge Antônio de Oliveira Francisco, is to be the new Minister of Justice.
The journalist exclusively received confirmation of the substitute’s name.
The new Minister is a childhood friend of Eduardo and Carlos Bolsonaro, who even stayed with Oliveira when he went to visit his father in Brasília.
Oliveira did not want to accept the position, but Bolsonaro persuaded him by saying that the command of the portfolio was a mission, said sources.
The new Minister takes over from Sérgio Moro, who stepped down last Friday, making serious accusations against Bolsonaro.
