TL;DR Summary

Brazil's Institutional Security Bureau (GSI) chief, retired army general Gonçalves Dias, has resigned after leaked CCTV footage showed him inside the presidential palace during the 8 January far-right assault on Brazil's democratic institutions. President Lula made Dias head of GSI after his election last year. The leaked footage showed GSI agents greeting the pro-Bolsonaro extremists and serving them water as they carried out their attack. Lula's administration has called the 8 January uprising a botched coup attempt designed to reinstall Bolsonaro as president.
