Brazil Police to Charge Ex-President Bolsonaro in Alleged Coup Plot

BRASILIA, Nov 21– Brazil’s Federal Police are preparing to charge former President Jair Bolsonaro in connection with an alleged plot to overturn the 2022 election. The charges, which will be formally presented on Thursday, are part of an investigation into actions taken by Bolsonaro and his supporters after he lost the election.

The investigation focuses on claims that Bolsonaro tried to disrupt the election results and challenge the legitimacy of his defeat. Authorities are also looking into other crimes he may have committed during his presidency.

Bolsonaro has denied any wrongdoing and calls the charges politically motivated. This case adds to the tension in Brazil as the country deals with the fallout from the 2022 election and seeks accountability for those involved in attempts to undermine the democratic process.
