>Brazilian authorities have indicted the country’s former president Jair Bolsonaro, alongside 36 other individuals as part of the investigation into an alleged coup plot to keep power following the election of his successor Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. >On Thursday, Bolsonaro was among the 37 individuals indicted by Brazil’s federal police as part of the investigation into the fallout of the 2022 presidential elections, in which the far-right leader’s bid for reelection was defeated, CNN Brasil reports. >This comes after police alleged, according to CNN Brasil, that Bolsonaro had “full knowledge” of a plan to prevent Lula and his government from taking office after his election victory. >Federal police sent their investigation report, which is hundreds of pages long, to the Supreme Court in Brasilia, CNN Brasil reports. Brazil’s attorney general will now decide whether to confirm the indictments or scrap the investigation. If the indictments are confirmed, a trial is expected to take place next year. >Bolsonaro has repeatedly denied claims he attempted to remain in power following Lula’s 2022 presidential win at the polls. . .
