Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said he was prepared to be arrested at any time by the Federal Police (PF). In an interview published on Thursday, 30, by the American magazine Bloomberg, the former chief of the federal executive said he hopes to be agreed by agents of the corporation.
“I sleep well, but I’m already prepared to hear the doorbell play at 6am: ‘It’s the Federal Police!’” He said. Bolsonaro has already been indicted in three investigations: the alleged coup plot, vaccination card fraud and the case of Saudi jewelry.
The most recent of the accusations occurred in November 2024, when the PF indicated it by violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, coup and criminal organization.
General Walter Braga Netto, former minister of the Civil House and Defense, was arrested the following month, accused of trying to obstruct investigations by seeking access to the award-winning denunciation of Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, former Bolsonaro orders.
This is not the first time Bolsonaro comments on the possibility of being agreed by the PF. On the 22nd, the former president said he wakes up every day with the feeling of having agents at the door of his home.

I was very happy with the amnesty he gave. I hope we don’t have to wait for a conservative to elect in 2026 to do the same here, ”he said.
Shortly after returning to the White House, Trump forgave 1,500 accused for the attack on the Capitol.
