TIL Desk/World/Brasilia/ At least 170 people were arrested after supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stormed government offices. Police said the authorities have taken control of three main government buildings — the Supreme Court, the presidential palace and Congressional buildings.
According to the police, the government buildings involved in Monday’s breach have been cleared of protesters. Executive secretary of the Brazilian Justice Minister, Ricardo Cappelli, vowed to punish all those involved in breaching the government buildings.
“I’m in the field, walking on the streets and personally commanding the security forces, fulfilling the mission I received from the President of the Republic. Nobody will go unpunished. The democratic rule of law will not be walled up by criminals,” Cappelli said. On Sunday, supporters of Bolsonaro breached security barriers and broke into Brazil’s Congress, Supreme Court and the Planalto Presidential Palace.
