He was a Member of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro from 2003 to 2019,[4] and was affiliated to the Social Liberal Party.[5][6]

His brothers are Carlos Bolsonaro, a member of the Rio de Janeiro City Council since 2001, and Eduardo Bolsonaro, a member of the Chamber of Deputies since 2015.[7]

In 2018, Bolsonaro was elected to the Federal Senate representing the state of Rio de Janeiro, having received 4.38 million votes (31.36%).[8]

Bolsonaro has been accused of having ties to Rio de Janeiro's death squads.[9][10]

On 25 August 2020, he tested positive for COVID-19.[11] Less than two weeks later, he announced that he had been cured of the virus.[12]

On 28 September 2020 O Globo reported that Bolsonaro had been indicted for graft and money laundering, citing a 300-page indictment seen by the outlet; the Rio de Janeiro public prosecutor's office issued a statement denying that any charges had been filed by that point.[13] However, on 3 November, the prosecutor's office announced that they had asked a court on 16 October to approve indictments against Bolsonaro and sixteen others for alleged involvement between 2007 and 2018 in a scheme known as rachadinha, or pay splitting, while he was a state legislator.[14] Following the November announcement, Bolsonaro issued a statement denying wrongdoing and expressing confidence that there was no evidence that would lead a judge to approve the charges.[14]
