US EditionBolsonaro 'never' discussed coup plot, ally tells Brazil court
- Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro faces a criminal trial in the Supreme Court over an alleged coup plot following his 2022 election defeat.
- The trial began after prosecutors accused Bolsonaro of leading a criminal group aiming to overturn Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s election win and involved assassination plans.
- About 50 witnesses, including military officers, former ministers such as Tarcisio de Freitas, and intelligence officials, have testified under Judge Alexandre de Moraes’ oversight.
- Freitas, Bolsonaro’s former infrastructure minister, testified that during their conversations in the final phase of Bolsonaro’s term, the former president did not bring up or indicate any plans to undermine the constitution, and seemed to be feeling down and resigned.
- The trial is currently underway with Bolsonaro and his co-defendants testifying, and it is anticipated that the proceedings could continue for several additional months prior to reaching a verdict, which may result in sentences of up to 40 years in prison and political disqualifications.
