In interview Seepublished this Thursday (22), Bolsonaro states that he never discussed a plan to kill anyone.
“At the Presidency there were more or less 3,000 people in that building. If a guy comes up with some kind of business, what do I have to do with it? Discussing a plan with me to kill someone, that never happened,” said Bolsonaro.
The former president also guaranteed that he would “never agree to any plan to carry out a coup”. “When they spoke to me, it was always to use the state of siege, something constitutional, which would depend on the approval of Congress”, he explained.
