Brazilian police arrest five in alleged plot to assassinate President Lula
Brazilian police arrested five individuals on Tuesday linked to an alleged plot to assassinate President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and his vice-president, Geraldo Alckmin, before they took office. This marks the first mention of a murder plan in the ongoing investigation. The suspects, primarily military personnel with Special Forces training, reportedly developed a detailed operational plan called "Green and Yellow Dagger." This plan was set to be executed on December 15, 2022, targeting the elected leaders. In addition to the arrests, police conducted searches and imposed restrictions on the suspects, including travel bans and communication limitations. The investigation is expected to conclude this month, with implications for former President Jair Bolsonaro's involvement.
