Brazil’s top prosecutor has initiated legal proceedings against former President Jair Bolsonaro for his alleged role in a coup plot intended to retain power following his 2022 election loss. According to the 272-page indictment, Bolsonaro and a group of 33 individuals are accused of devising a scheme that involved extreme measures, such as poisoning the current President Lula and targeting a key Supreme Court justice, actions deemed as an attempt to upend the country's democratic institutions.
The detailed report describes a criminal organization that allegedly planned a series of violent acts within the presidential palace, aimed at attacking state institutions and undermining the formal balance of power. Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet asserts that this plot, which has been ominously dubbed “Green and Yellow Dagger,” was known to and supported by Bolsonaro himself.
Further investigation by Brazil’s Federal Police, which led to an extensive 884-page report, revealed efforts to deliberately cast doubt on the electoral process, including drafting legal documents to shield the conspirators’ actions and pressuring military officials to conform to the plan. While the charges now face scrutiny by the Supreme Court, Bolsonaro maintains his innocence, dismissing the allegations as unfounded.
