BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes on Friday tossed out a probe into whether former President Jair Bolsonaro forged vaccine records, a court decision seen by Reuters showed.

Moraes' ruling came after Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet earlier this week decided not to charge Bolsonaro with fraud, saying he could not press charges based only on allegations from a plea-bargain deal made with a former presidential aide.
