Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro has been charged with orchestrating a plot to stay in office despite losing the 2022 election — a plot that the country's top prosecutor says included a plan to poison his opponent, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The unprecedented charges handed down on Tuesday accuse the far-right former leader of five crimes, including a coup attempt. Another 33 people linked to Bolsonaro have also been charged.
