Brazil's federal police have formally accused former President Jair Bolsonaro of attempting to orchestrate a coup following his defeat in the 2022 elections. In addition to Bolsonaro, 36 others are implicated in this reported conspiracy to maintain his presidency, including high-ranking officials from his administration. Their goal was to undermine the constitutional order through violent means. This serious allegation illustrates the ongoing political turbulence in Brazil, particularly regarding Bolsonarism and its influence despite electoral defeat.
The Federal Police's sweeping report describes what transpired as an effort to 'violently dismantle the constitutional state', accumulating nearly 900 pages of evidence that details this alleged coup plot. The accusations are part of a systematic review intended to clarify the actions taken by Bolsonaro and his associates in the lead-up to the storming of Brazil's key political buildings by his supporters in January 2023.
