Brazil’s judicial authorities have ordered the arrest of top public officials after rioters stormed key government buildings in Brasília.
One official, the former commander of the military police, has been arrested, local media reported.
The officials also include Brasília’s former public security chief Anderson Torres and others “responsible for acts and omissions” leading to the riots, the attorney general’s office said. Mr Torres denies any role in the riots.
Colonel Fábio Augusto, the police commander, was dismissed from his role after supporters of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court.
