Brazil’s federal police arrested former Defense Minister Walter Braga Netto for allegedly plotting a coup to overturn the 2022 election results. A police report indicates former President Jair Bolsonaro was actively involved in the plot. Braga Netto denies all accusations. The alleged plot targeted Lula, Alckmin, and Supreme Court Justice Moraes.
Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, is reportedly banking on Donald Trump’s influence to aid his 2026 political aspirations, despite facing serious charges related to an alleged coup plot. Bolsonaro, facing a ban from office until 2030, hopes Trump will pressure Brazilian authorities to overturn the ruling.
