Brazilian Police Indict Former President Bolsonaro For Alleged Attempted Coup

SAO PAULO — Police indicted Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others for allegedly attempting a coup to keep the right-wing leader in office after his defeat in the 2022 election. Already barred from running again in 2026 for a different case, he could now land in jail and see his influence further diminished. Brazil’s federal police said the sealed findings in Thursday’s indictment were being delivered to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which will refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, who will decide whether to formally charge Bolsonaro and put him on trial, or toss the investigation. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Gonet is already under pressure from his legal peers to move forward with the various investigations related to the ex-President, local media have reported.
