Brazilian legislators have suggested to recommend charging President Jair Bolsonaro over his running of the ruinous Covid epidemic.
A Senate panel backed a report calling for charges against Mr Bolsonaro including crimes against humanity, after deaths from coronavirus.
The findings will be transferred to the principal prosecutor, a Bolsonaro nominee.
The chairman has maintained he's" shamefaced of absolutely nothing"but the extremity has downsized his fashionability.
Brazil's death risk is alternate only to that of the United States.
There's no guarantee this vote will lead to factual felonious charges, as the report's recommendations must now be assessed by Prosecutor-General Augusto Aras, who's anticipated to cover the chairman.
The report alleges that Mr Bolsonaro's government pursued a policy of allowing coronavirus to rip through the country in the stopgap of achieving herd impunity.
It describes the chairman as"the main person responsible for the crimes committed by the civil government during the epidemic".
The report's lead author, central Senator Renan Calheiros, called for the panel's recommendation to charge President Bolsonaro with crimes against humanity to be submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Brazil is a party to the Rome Statute, which created the ICC, so the transnational court could take up the case.
But a referral would only be a first step in a lengthy process in which it would be over to the ICC to determine the graces of the case and whether to take it forward.
In addition to crimes against humanity, the Senate commission has recommended eight farther charges be brought against Mr Bolsonaro in Brazilian courts, including incitement to crime, falsification of documents and the violation of social rights.
Mr Bolsonaro is also indicted of misusing public finances and spreading fake news about the epidemic.
The- runner report also recommended bringing charges against two pots and 77 other people, including three of the chairman's adult sons.
Following the advertisement, Senator Calheiros said that the"chaos of Jair Bolsonaro's government will enter history as the smallest position of mortal pauperism".
The vote concludes a six-month inquiry which has stressed dishonors and corruption inside the government.
The Senate's recommendation is anticipated to be delivered to the prosecutor-general on Wednesday morning. His office said it would be precisely reviewed as soon as it was entered, the Associated Press reports.

Throughout the process, Mr Bolsonaro has claimed that his government" did the right thing from the first moment"of the epidemic and his abettors have been quick to dismiss Tuesday's recommendations as being driven entirely by"political and electoral" provocations.
"It's a completely political report, without any legal base," said Flavio Bolsonaro, one of the chairman's sons indicted in the report.
"The intent of some legislators on the investigative commission is to beget the maximum quantum of wear and gash on the chairman."
Former US President Donald Trump, a Bolsonaro supporter, said in a statement he championed the Brazilian chairman because"he fights hard for, and loves, the people of Brazil".
