Jair Bolsonaro Indicted for 2022 Coup Attempt in Brazil

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others, including his vice-presidential candidate Walter Braga Netto, have been indicted by federal police for allegedly plotting a coup following Bolsonaro's loss in the 2022 presidential election. The charges include attempted violent abolition of democratic rule, coup d'état, and criminal organization. Bolsonaro, who was banned from running for office for eight years due to claims of election fraud, has vowed to legally contest the accusations. The investigation follows the January 2023 storming of Brazil's government buildings by Bolsonaro's supporters.
