Air force chief who refused Bolsonaro coup warns history must not repeat

A former Brazilian air force chief, Carlos de Almeida Baptista Júnior, recounts in a forthcoming book how Bolsonaro tried to use the military to overturn Lula’s 2022 election with a draft decree; two of the three service heads refused to back the plan, helping derail the coup, and several officers—including the navy commander and defence minister—were later convicted while Bolsonaro remains under house arrest. Baptista Júnior says his decision cost him friendships and he hopes the book prevents a repeat as Brazil heads into another election.

Putin Tightens Security as Elite Coup Fears Prompt Kremlin Shield

Putin is reportedly increasing his personal protection and expanding Kremlin security measures after intelligence sources warned of a possible elite coup and drone threats. The FSO has tightened access for Putin’s inner circle, installed home surveillance, banned internet-enabled devices for staff phones, deployed canine units, and periodically shuts down parts of Moscow’s networks. The moves follow tensions within Russia’s security services after the killing of a senior general and amid discussions about powerful figures like Shoigu; some claims remain unverified by CNN and other outlets.
