Bolsonaro was accused of trying to the coup in the aftermath of an election defeat in Brazil
Brazil has accused the former president of trying for the coup after defeating the election.
The Brazilian prosecutor general has accused former President Jaier Bolsonaro of trying to change the election result, according to ISNA. He may be arrested.
Jaier Bullesonaro was accused of extensive planning to maintain power after defeating the election on Tuesday. The program included attempts to cancel the elections, dissolve the courts, strengthen the army, and even a conspiracy to assassinate the president.
The allegations made in a 2 -page indictment show that Brazil was dangerously on the verge of returning to a military dictatorship after four decades of modern democracy.
Brazilian prosecutor Paulo Gent Branco has accused Bolesonaro and four others, including former head of intelligence, defense minister and national security adviser. They have been accused of committing a series of crimes against Brazilian democracy. The allegations are basically based on the recommendations of the Brazilian Federal Police in November.
The case has now been referred to the Brazilian Supreme Court on whether Bolesonaro should be arrested and tried. According to the indictment, if convicted, he may be sentenced to 5 to 5 years in prison, although political analysts expect his punishment to be less than that.
In an interview last month, Bolsonaro rejected the charges of coup planning, saying that he legally questioned the defective election system and sought the constitutional solutions to correct the outcome he was suspicious. His lawyer made no comment on Tuesday.
The allegations are the latest chapter of the many years of Brazil’s adventure, which includes the discretion of the country’s voting system, a stressful election that never fully accepted defeat, his supporters of power buildings in Brazil, and a controversial investigation that leads to a prisoner since December. He has become his election vice.
The Brazilian people may now see a television trial in the Supreme Court that will eventually turn Bolesonaru into the third Brazilian president in the past eight years.
This situation has a significant contradiction with the United States. Bolesonaro and the US president, who were political allies and mirrors, have both been accused of trying to change the outcome of the election. But Trump’s case was abandoned with his return to power, while Bolsonaro is in his weakest political situation.
The Brazilian election court has earlier ordered that Bolsonaro is not eligible for next year’s presidential election. The Attorney General also has two other criminal cases against him. The Brazilian Supreme Court judge, who will be responsible for his coup case, is probably his biggest political rival.
While the US Supreme Court ruled that Trump was largely immune from prosecution for his actions during the presidency, the Brazilian Supreme Court has taken an offensive approach against Bolsonaro and his right -wing movement.
The court has guided the investigation, issued detainees, and censored many supporters of Bolsonaro on social media, arguing that his movement’s anti -democratic measures require an extraordinary reaction. Now, four high -ranking judges can determine the fate of Bolsonaro.
“In a republic, everyone can be held accountable,” Paulo Gent Branco wrote in a three -page introduction to the indictment. The president is no exception. “
