Brazil: Bolsonaro in trouble – He is accused of a coup

Brazil’s Federal Police are expected to present the formal indictment against former President Jair Bolsonaro today as part of their investigation into an alleged plot to stage a coup after he was defeated in the 2022 election. According to police sources, Bolsonaro will charged with other crimes. The formal indictment will be a new blow to Bolsonaro’s plans to run for president again in 2026. His allies are trying to overturn a court ruling barring him from running for questioning the legality of the voting system in 2022. On Tuesday, police arrested five people, including a former member of the far-right ex-president’s cabinet. Those arrested are suspected of being involved in a plot to assassinate then-president-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva just days before he took office after winning the election. Source: RES
