The Federal Police (PF) is set to conclude its investigation into an alleged coup attempt by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and his allies this week. The inquiry, which has been ongoing, focuses on a plot to overturn the 2022 election results. According to sources, Bolsonaro is expected to be indicted along with several high-profile figures from his administration, including General Braga Netto, General Heleno, former intelligence chief Alexandre Ramagem, and potentially Valdemar Costa Neto, the president of the PL party. The investigation has uncovered plans that included the assassination of key political figures such as Lula, Alckmin, and Moraes. The list of those to be indicted reportedly includes dozens of names, with the PF aiming to finalize the inquiry today.
