Understand the case
Second informs The Portal Fórum, incited by the singer Lobão, who published a tweet at 6:44 am this Friday (25) insinuating that Jean Wyllys would be leaving Brazil due to suspicions of involvement in the attack committed by Adélio Bispo dos Santos against Jair Bolsonaro (PSL), bolsonaristas started a movement that put the hashtag #InvestigarJeanWillis in Trending Topics Brasil – the most commented subjects – on Twitter.
"This whole thing about Jean Willis leaving Brazil and abandoning public life only raises serious suspicions about his involvement in the attempted assassination of Jair Bolsonaro. It should be investigated immediately. This talk is nonsense," Lobão tweeted, with the hashtag #InvestigateJeanWillis.
The publication caused a mobilization among Bolsonaro supporters and the thousands of bots operating on pro-Bolsonaro social media, who followed the advice of "Father Lobão".
