In Brazil, a parliamentary committee of inquiry into corona policy is to present its results to the government of President Jair Bolsonaro after almost six months of work.
It is now up to Senator Renan Calheiros to present the final report on Wednesday, according to a statement from the Senate in Brasília on Tuesday.
The draft, which has already been circulating in advance, provides for around 70 people and two companies to be held accountable and for President Bolsonaro to be charged with the alleged perpetration of eleven, sometimes serious, crimes.
According to media reports, the senators discussed the final content late into the night and decided to remove two crimes from the list of allegations.
The committee of inquiry began its work at the height of the spiraling coronavirus pandemic in April.
The motions that led to its inauguration provided for him to shed light on the Bolsonaro government's actions and omissions in the pandemic and to review the possible misappropriation of federal funds in the fight against the coronavirus.
More than 600,000 corona deaths
After the United States and India, Brazil has the most corona infections with almost 22 million cases.
Most recently, the largest country in Latin America exceeded the mark of 600,000 corona deaths.
The health system collapsed in many places in March and April.
Bolsonaro has played down the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic and rejects protective measures and restrictions.
He also doubts the point of vaccinations.
Bolsonaro has emphasized several times that he has not yet been vaccinated against the corona virus.
He is accused of having turned down the purchase of corona vaccines and dragged them off.
The committee of inquiry has eleven members.
The committee is expected to vote on the final report in the coming week.
A majority is needed to pass the report.
Then it can be sent to institutions like the Attorney General's Office.
According to observers, it is unclear whether the recommendations would also lead to indictments.
