Brazil's Federal Police to request indictment of Bolsonaro for attempted coup and other crimes

reuters.com

The Federal Police of Brazil will submit a request to indict former President Jair Bolsonaro for attempted coup and other crimes. This follows nearly two years of investigation, with a report exceeding 800 pages detailing his alleged role in the coup plot. The report also implicates several high-ranking officials from Bolsonaro's administration, including his former running mate and key ministers. The case will be forwarded to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who will decide on further legal actions. This development comes shortly after the arrest of a police officer and four military personnel linked to a plot to assassinate President Lula and others. Bolsonaro is already under investigation for other allegations, including vaccination card fraud and misappropriation of state gifts.
