Brazil's federal police have accused former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 of his allies of orchestrating a coup attempt to prevent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from assuming power after the 2022 presidential election. The investigation has unveiled detailed plans that included assassinating Lula, his vice president Geraldo Alckmin, and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes through methods such as poisoning.
Among the accused are key figures from Bolsonaro's administration, such as former Defense Ministers Gen Walter Braga Netto and Gen Paulo Sérgio Nogueira de Oliveira, Justice Minister Anderson Torres, and intelligence chief Alexandre Ramagem. Others implicated include Valdemar Costa Neto, the president of Bolsonaro's Liberal Party, and foreign policy advisor Filipe Martins.
