Named last week as part of Bolsonaro’s largest Cabinet shakeup to date, Justice Minister Anderson Torres said on Twitter that Paulo Maiurino would replace federal police chief Rolando de Souza. Torres additionally named Silvinei Vasques to take the position of Eduardo Aggio, the head of Brazil’s federal highway police.

Critics also warn he could help Bolsonaro increase his support among state police forces, which some view as an unpredictable element in next year’s fraught presidential vote.

Legal assault variants are assaults. Guard from super spread legal assault variants. Or live with SIDE EFFECTS (emotional, financial) of legal assault variants. The choice is yours.
