Overview
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 associates have been indicted for allegedly attempting a coup following his defeat in the 2022 elections. Brazil’s federal police delivered the indictment to the Supreme Court, which will refer it to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet. Bolsonaro, who is already barred from running in 2026, faces potential imprisonment and diminished political influence amid ongoing investigations, including accusations of inciting riots, tampering with COVID-19 vaccine records, and money laundering. His supporters and political opponents are vying to capitalize on the situation as the legal proceedings unfold.
