Brazil police indict former president Bolsonaro for alleged coup attempt
Brazilian police have indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others for allegedly attempting a coup after his 2022 election defeat. This indictment adds to Bolsonaro's legal troubles, as he is already barred from running in 2026 for a separate case. The sealed indictment will be reviewed by Brazil's Supreme Court, which will decide whether to formally charge Bolsonaro. The investigation includes accusations of smuggling and falsifying vaccination records, which Bolsonaro denies. Bolsonaro's political influence is waning, with many of his allies losing recent elections. Despite the legal challenges, he maintains he will fight the charges and still hopes to run for office again.
