Brazilian judge orders arrest of 2 security officials after riot; hundreds of detainees released

Here’s what to know

• Brazilian security forces continued to clear protesters from a camp near a federal police academy in Brasília, where a large group of supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro had set up tents since his election loss in October.
• Brazilian Justice Minister Flavio Dino said Tuesday that investigators have identified several business executives suspected of financing the insurrection in Brasília, mainly by renting buses to transport scores of radical Bolsonaro supporters from across the country to the capital. “We’re going to find out who financed it,” Lula tweeted Monday night.
• The riot, a striking echo of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, highlighted the close ties between Bolsonaro and former president Donald Trump. Both spent months predicting mass election fraud before refusing to concede defeat and fueling their supporters’ anger.
