BRASILIA, June 1 (Reuters) - A Brazilian Supreme Court judge has given President Jair Bolsonaro five days to submit information regarding the government s last-minute decision to host the Copa America soccer tournament despite the nation s ongoing struggles with COVID-19.
The demand by Ricardo Lewandowski came in response to a suit filed by the opposition Workers Party, which objected to hosting the tournament given the current public health situation in Brazil and plunged the fate of Latin America s biggest sporting event into uncertainty once more.
