Brazilian authorities formally accuse Jair Bolsonaro of leading alleged 2022 coup attempt against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva

In late 2022, before Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took office, a plot was hatched to kill the then president-elect, capture or kill Lula's vice-president, Geraldo Alckmin, and assassinate Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes. The plot allegedly included plans for a coup d'état that would have led to the violent overthrow of the democratic state. Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, has been accused of having "full knowledge" of the plot and is among the 37 people charged by the federal police. Bolsonaro has denied all allegations that he tried to stay in office after losing the election and has vowed to "fight" the charges.
The more they persecute Bolsonaro, the stronger he gets.
As disgusting as it may be to think about killing someone, it is not a crime. And for there to be an attempt, the execution must be interrupted by some situation beyond the control of the perpetrators. Which does not appear to have happened.
If someone had come and talked to me about a coup, I would have asked them: 'What about the day after? What would the world do?'
No one is going to do a coup with a reserve general and half a dozen other officers. What is being said is absurd. For my part, there has never been any discussion of a coup.
The fight begins at the Attorney General's office.
And if he is convicted he could also be jailed by then. To avoid being behind bars, he will have to convince Supreme Court justices that he has nothing to do with a plot that involves dozens of his aides. That's a very tall order.
The attempt to poison me and Alckmin didn't work and here we are.
