Brazil Investigates Bolsonaro’s Stay at Hungarian Embassy Amid Coup Allegations

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro took refuge in the Hungarian embassy in Brasilia as authorities probed his alleged involvement in a coup attempt.

Brazil’s Federal Police launched an investigation into Jair Bolsonaro’s two-night stay at the Hungarian embassy in Brasilia last month.
The stay occurred after Bolsonaro’s passport was seized and his aides were arrested on suspicions of plotting a coup to overturn the 2022 election results.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a key ally of Bolsonaro, leads the country where the embassy provided shelter.
Bolsonaro faces multiple criminal investigations, including allegations of falsifying COVID-19 vaccination records and misappropriating foreign gifts.
Brazil’s foreign ministry summoned Hungary’s ambassador to explain why Bolsonaro was hosted at the embassy.
