Brazil arrests five in alleged plot to assassinate Lula before inauguration

ndtv.com — November 19, 2024 at 06:01 PM UTC

Brazilian police arrested five individuals, including a former cabinet member of Jair Bolsonaro, for allegedly plotting to assassinate then-President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in late 2022. The arrests mark the first public acknowledgment of a conspiracy to kill Lula and his Vice President-elect. Documents revealed plans to shoot or poison Lula and Alckmin, with intentions to install two retired army generals in power. The main suspect, retired Brigadier General Mario Fernandes, had a detailed operational plan titled "Green and Yellow Dagger." The investigation also uncovered plans to target a Supreme Court justice. The federal police operation involved multiple states and included search warrants and restrictions on the suspects. Bolsonaro has not commented on the allegations.
