Brazil's former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro has been implicated in a coup plot to retain power following his defeat in the 2022 election, as per a Federal Police report unveiled on Tuesday. The report, comprising nearly 900 pages, was sent to the Supreme Court, which lifted the seal last Thursday.
The Federal Police formally accused Bolsonaro and 36 others of attempting a coup, stating that the evidence gathered during the investigation clearly indicates Bolsonaro's direct involvement in planning and executing the actions of the criminal organization seeking to overthrow the democratic rule of law.
