Brazil's prosecutor-general has charged former President Jair Bolsonaro with attempting a coup after his 2022 defeat. Allegations include planning to poison President Lula and assassinate Supreme Court Justice Moraes. The scheme, termed 'Green and Yellow Dagger,' involved undermining trust in the electoral system and inciting riots. A detailed police report outlines how Bolsonaro and 33 others sought to disrupt democratic institutions. While the Supreme Court will review the charges for a potential trial, Bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing, expressing confidence in his innocence.
"The members of the criminal organisation structured at the presidential palace a plan to attack institutions, aiming to bring down the system of the powers and the democratic order, which received the sinister name of 'Green and Yellow Dagger.'"
"Last November, Federal Police filed a 884-page report with Gonet detailing the scheme. They allege it involved systematically sowing distrust of the electoral system among the populace..."
"Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing. 'I have no concerns about the accusations, zero,' Bolsonaro told journalists earlier on Tuesday during a visit to the Senate in Brasilia.'"
