Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's former president, has been charged with orchestrating a scheme to undermine public trust in the 2022 elections and to overturn their results. The attorney general indicted Bolsonaro and 33 co-conspirators based on findings from Brazil's federal police. The allegations revolve around promoting unfounded claims of electoral fraud, even as investigations yielded no supporting evidence. This significant case now moves to Brazil's Supreme Court, which will review the charges and may order Bolsonaro's arrest and trial.
The attorney general indicated that Bolsonaro and 33 others participated in a scheme to weaken public trust in the 2022 elections, promoting unfounded fraud allegations.
