Sao Paulo, Apr 24 (EFE).- People in Sao Paulo banged pots and pans in a protest against Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro after Justice minister Sergio Moro announced his resignation on Friday. Moro, a former federal judge who gained international recognition by spearheading a sprawling anti-graft campaign, accused Bolsonaro of political meddling for dismissing the country's top police official earlier in the day.The departure of Sergio Moro, viewed by many conservatives in Brazil as a heroic defender of justice, represents a harsh political blow for the rightist head of state and also provoked financial turmoil in the South American country.

Brazilian police officers leave the headquarters of Bolsonaro's Liberal Party with seized objects, one of the dozens of raids carried targeting suspects accused of orchestrating an invasion of the seat of power last year. The raids were authorized by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who also ordered that multiple suspects be suspended from public duties and surrender their passports within 24 hours. That included Bolsonaro, whose lawyer and adviser Fabio Wajngarten confirmed in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, that the far-right ex-army captain would comply with the order. IMAGES
