"Brazilian Police Investigate Bolsonaro and Allies in Coup Probe"
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has surrendered his passport as part of a police investigation into an attempted coup on 8 January 2023, which aimed to keep him in power. Federal police carried out searches and arrests targeting key allies of Bolsonaro, including military officers and high-profile members of the previous administration. The operation, authorized by the supreme court, is looking into a criminal organization that attempted a coup d’état and disseminated disinformation about fraud in the 2022 elections to make a military intervention viable. Bolsonaro, facing multiple criminal investigations, has been banned from running for political office until 2030 over his peddling of lies and disinformation in the 2022 election.
