Brazilian police arrest five officers in alleged coup plot against President Lula
Brazilian police have arrested five officers, including four military personnel, for an alleged coup plot aimed at overthrowing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The plot also included plans to kill Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The arrests followed a police investigation that revealed the involvement of military personnel trained in Special Forces. Authorities executed five arrest warrants and conducted searches, seizing passports and restricting contact for the suspects. This development comes after statements from two military leaders who claimed former President Jair Bolsonaro suggested a coup following his 2022 election loss. They warned him against such actions, which are linked to unrest in Brasilia after Lula's inauguration.
