Summary
Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others have been charged by federal police with conspiracy and attempting to overthrow the country’s democracy through a right-wing coup.
The accused include top allies, such as former defense ministers and intelligence officials.
The charges follow an investigation into efforts to dismantle the constitutional state, backed by evidence from financial records and plea deals.
This comes days after arrests in a separate plot to assassinate President Lula da Silva and other officials.
Bolsonaro denies involvement in the 2022 election conspiracy.
They didn’t kill themselves while assembling a bomb, they accidentally blew themselves up when trying to blow up the state of the justice lady (blind with a scales thingy)
I think they died while making the bomb. OK so it isn’t a proper own goal then.
