247 - Jair Bolsonaro defended this Sunday (26) the name of Alexandre Ramagem, a friend of his son and city councilor, Carlos Bolsonaro, to head the Federal Police. "So what? I knew Ramagem before I knew my sons. Should he be vetoed for that reason? Should I choose someone who is a friend of someone else?", he said. The account was published in Folha de S.Paulo newspaper.

Another social media user posted on Bolsonaro's page a newspaper report published this Saturday (25) pointing out that the Federal Police identified Carlos Bolsonaro as one of the organizers of a criminal fake news scheme. "Believing in Folha de S.Paulo. Only when they criminalize freedom of expression will you learn," Bolsonaro replied.
