The Brazilian police are seeking to bring former President Jair Bolsonaro to trial for allegedly plotting a coup against current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after losing the 2022 election. Investigations suggest that Bolsonaro and his allies coordinated efforts to remain in power, with the Attorney General deciding whether to follow through with charges against him and 36 other suspects, including prominent former officials.
