Summary
An unsealed Brazilian Federal Police report alleges that former President Jair Bolsonaro actively planned and participated in a 2022 coup plot to remain in power after losing to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The report details Bolsonaro’s presentation of a draft decree to military commanders to suspend electoral court powers and investigate alleged voting fraud, though opposition from army and air force leaders stopped the plan.
Bolsonaro denies involvement, but faces accusations of staging a coup, eliminating the rule of law, and forming a criminal organization, with potential prison sentences of 11+ years if convicted.
Lol Brasil is taunting us at this point
🙃
Like history is gonna be so funny.
Like imagine reading history and turn to the 2020s and read that:
The world’s most powerful country in terms of military strength and diplomatic influence had the option of a prosecutor or a convicted felon with a history of being a shitty person and adjundicated of rape, 2 legit impeachments, and already 1 term of being a shit president…
And the voters still chose the felon.
Then some random “third-world” country has a better democracy and actually prosecute coup plotters and traitors.
🤦♂️
