Brazilian police accuse Bolsonaro and allies of coup plot to stay in power
Brazil's Federal Police have accused former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others of plotting a coup to remain in power. The allegations are detailed in an 884-page report, which outlines a plan to undermine the electoral system and incite unrest. The investigation reveals that Bolsonaro and his allies allegedly spread false information about the voting system and drafted a decree to challenge election results. The plan reportedly involved pressuring military leaders and inciting protests against the new government. Additionally, police arrested several individuals linked to a plot to assassinate President Lula and other officials. The report connects these actions to a broader scheme to disrupt the democratic process following Bolsonaro's electoral defeat.
