A report from Brazil's Federal Police (PF) has revealed that former President Jair Bolsonaro was aware of and actively participated in a plan to execute a coup against his successor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The 884-page document, released on November 26, outlines that Bolsonaro 'planned, directed, and executed' the coup attempt, which included a proposal for an assassination of Lula. The PF's findings indicate that Bolsonaro had direct control over the actions intended to prevent Lula's inauguration, with evidence suggesting he coordinated with a criminal organization to facilitate this plan. The report asserts that the evidence collected during the investigation unequivocally demonstrates Bolsonaro's involvement in the coup plot.
