 Brazilian authorities have ordered the arrest of two government security officials in connection to Sunday’s assault on Brazil’s Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace by supporters of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. 

Brasilia, January 11 (RHC)-- Brazilian authorities have ordered the arrest of two government security officials in connection to Sunday’s assault on Brazil’s Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace by supporters of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. 

One of the top officials is Anderson Torres, who was chief of security in Brasília.  Authorities have also asked a federal court to freeze Bolsonaro’s assets while they continue to investigate the attack. 

Bolsonaro fled to Orlando, Florida, ahead of the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.  Over 1,500 of his supporters have been arrested for their involvement in the riots.
