Police arrest former Bolsonaro aide and four others in alleged plot to kill Brazil's Lula
Brazilian police arrested five individuals, including a former aide to ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and his vice president, Geraldo Alckmin, in December 2022. This marks the first time police have publicly linked the arrests to a murder plot and coup attempt. The suspects, primarily military personnel, reportedly developed a detailed plan called "Green and Yellow Dagger." The investigation revealed intentions to establish a crisis management office and target a Supreme Court justice. The police operation involved multiple states and included search warrants and restrictions on the suspects.
