Brazil's top prosecutor delays coup indictment against Bolsonaro until next year
Brazil's top prosecutor has postponed any indictments against former President Jair Bolsonaro and others involved in an alleged coup until next year. Prosecutor Paulo Gonet plans to combine three investigations into a single indictment. Federal Police have formally accused Bolsonaro and 36 others of attempted coup and related crimes. This follows a two-year investigation into Bolsonaro's actions after his 2022 election defeat, which included riots by his supporters. Gonet is expected to take time to review the evidence before issuing indictments, which may not come until 2025. Bolsonaro remains influential in Brazilian politics despite his legal challenges.
