The former president of PL revealed that he lives under the constant feeling that the is at your doorstep. He was indicted on three occasions, the most recent in November, due to alleged links with a coup plot after the 2022 elections. The accusations against him include the violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, a coup d’état and a criminal organization, which can result in sentences of up to 28 years in prison. In addition to the accusations related to the coup, Bolsonaro faces other charges, such as fraud on his vaccination card and the attempt to appropriate jewelry from the Presidency. It is important to emphasize that the indictment does not imply guilt, but rather that the Federal Police collected sufficient evidence to continue the investigations.
In a recent interview, Bolsonaro expressed regret for having chosen generals to form his government. He stated that, if he had the opportunity to return to the presidency, he would opt for “more thick-skinned ministers” to deal with the system. This statement reflects a change in his approach to choosing political allies. The Federal Police also indicted four generals who served during Bolsonaro’s administration, accusing them of involvement in the same coup plot. Among these, two generals are under preventive detention, which highlights the seriousness of the ongoing investigations and the seriousness of the accusations surrounding the former president and his collaborators.
