Brazil’s former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro was fully aware of and actively participated in a coup plot to remain in office after his defeat in 2022.

Bolsonaro was one of 37 people the federal police named in allegations of a violent abolition of the Democratic state of law, pursuing a coup d’état and being a criminal organization.

Brazil's federal police presented evidence to the Supreme Court that former President Jair Bolsonaro was directly involved in plotting a coup to overturn the outcome of the 2022 election he lost, according to an 884-page report unsealed on Tuesday.
