Brazil's Federal Police will formally accuse former President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday of involvement in an alleged coup plot following his 2022 election loss. This marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation. The accusations also include other crimes. This situation complicates Bolsonaro's potential 2026 presidential run, as he faces a court decision blocking his candidacy due to his claims against the election's legitimacy. Recently, police arrested five individuals, including a former cabinet member, linked to a conspiracy that reportedly involved plans to assassinate then-president-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
