In a landmark moment for Brazilian democracy, former President Jair Bolsonaro faces one of the most significant legal challenges of his political career. On November 21, 2024, Brazil's Federal Police indicted him and 36 associates, including ex-Defense Minister General Walter Braga Netto and former aide Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, accusing them of attempting a coup d'état following the 2022 presidential election.
What happens next could land them in jail for three decades.
