Leaked Covid-19 report calls for mass homicide charges against Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro

(CNN) A Brazilian congressional panel is set to recommend mass homicide charges against President Jair Bolsonaro over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according a leaked government report seen by CNN on Tuesday.

CNN Brasil received draft excerpts of a congressional investigation that accuses Bolsonaro and other government officials of allowing the lethal coronavirus to spread through the population in hopes of achieving herd immunity.

More than 600,000 people have died of Covid-19 in Brazil, which has the second-highest death toll in the world after the United States.

The excerpts show the probe's report effectively blames the Bolsonaro administration's policies for more than half of those deaths, and calls for murder charges against the President.
