Jair Bolsonaro Indicted for Alleged Coup Plot Against Lula
The former Brazilian president faces charges of attempting to overturn the 2022 election results, including a plan involving assassinations and state of siege declarations.
- Jair Bolsonaro and 33 others have been indicted for allegedly planning a coup to prevent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from assuming the presidency after the 2022 election.
- The indictment accuses Bolsonaro of leading a conspiracy involving military and civilian collaborators, with plans that included the assassination of Lula, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and a Supreme Court judge.
- The coup plan, titled 'Operation Green and Yellow Dagger,' reportedly failed due to a lack of support from Brazil's military leadership.
- Bolsonaro is also accused of drafting a decree to declare a state of siege, annul the election results, and detain a Supreme Court judge to justify new elections.
- The former president, already barred from public office until 2030 for spreading election misinformation, denies the charges and remains under a travel ban in Brazil.
