The Brazilian Federal Police (PF) has revealed a plot to assassinate President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The investigation led to the arrest of four military personnel and one federal police officer, including Wladimir Soares, who was co-opted by agent Alexandre Ramalho. The PF's findings indicate that former President Jair Bolsonaro had full knowledge of the assassination plan. Bolsonaro, along with several high-ranking officials, including ex-ministers Anderson Torres and Walter Braga Netto, is expected to be indicted. President Lula has publicly acknowledged the failed attempt on his life, including an attempted poisoning, expressing gratitude for his survival.
