Police launched a sweeping operation that ensnared former President Jair Bolsonaro and dozens of his allies who allegedly tried to overturn the result of Brazil’s 2022 election following his defeat.
The operation was authorized by the top court and carried out by the federal police. In a statement describing their actions on Thursday, the police said a “criminal organization” had tried to plot a “coup d’état, with the support of military personnel.”
