The Brazilian Attorney General on Tuesday accused the former President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday to try a coup after his election around 2022 to poison his successor and current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and kill a judge of the Supreme Court .
The Attorney General Paulo Gonet claims to stay in power Bolsonaro and 33 others who stand in a plan. The alleged conspiracy, he wrote, contained a plan to poison Lula and to shoot an enemy of the former president, Alexandre de Moraes.
“The members of the criminal organization, which is structured in the Presidential Palace, to attack a plan to reduce institutions to reduce the system of powers and the democratic medals that received the dark name of ‘Green and Yellow Dolch’,” wrote Gonet in A 272 -Dost charges. “The plan was conceived and the president’s knowledge was convinced, and he agreed.”
Bolsonaro can often be seen in Brazil’s yellow-green national football jersey in Brazil, and the colors are associated with its political movement.
In November, the Brazilian federal police submitted an 884-page report with Gonet in which the program was described. They claim systematic efforts to sow distrust in the electoral system, to create a decree to enable the land, to put the top military meninging under pressure in order to fit the plan and to enhance a turmoil in the capital.
In the indictment, Gonet described the alleged crimes as part of a chain of events that, with an overarching goal of preventing Bolsonaro from leaving the office, “contrary to the result of the popular will in the surveys”.
The Supreme Court will analyze the indictment and, if this is accepted, Bolsonaro will be on trial.
Bolsonaro previously accused
The former leader denied misconduct.
“I have no concerns about the accusations, Zero,” said Bolsonaro on Tuesday during a visit to the Senate in Brasilia.
“Did you happen to see the coup decree? You didn’t do it. I didn’t have it either,” he said.
Fabio Wajngarten, a lawyer for Bolsonaro, did not immediately comment on the indictment, but said that it would say an explanation without saying when.
The 34 defendants are not only accused of participating in a coup, but are accused of participating in an armed criminal organization, a violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, which, through violence and serious threats to the assets of the state, deterioration of the listed heir an explanation of the press office of the Attorney General.

Gonet said the criminal organization, which he accused, “had the (then) president himself and his running comrade, General Braga Netto”.
“Both accepted, stimulated and performed actions, which in our criminal law legislation are described as an attack on the existence and independence of (the branches) of power and democratic rule,” wrote Gonet in his report.
The charges based on manuscripts, digital files, spreadsheets and news exchange reveal a program to disturb democratic order according to the office of the Attorney General.
“Historical” fees
The accusations are “historical,” said Luis Henrique Machado, a criminal defense lawyer and professor at IDP University in Brasilia, and added that he expected the Supreme Court accept the indictment and Bolsonaro will put on trial at some point before the next year.
“The fees show that the institutions of Brazil are robust, independent and agile,” said Machado. “You are a role model for other countries in which democracy is at risk.”
In the 2026 elections, Bolsonaro is excluded by judges with the state’s highest court of elections that he abused his power and threw unfounded doubts about the country’s electronic voting system.
After the charges on Tuesday, Bolsonaro will “position himself as a victim,” said Carlos Melo, professor of political science at Insper University in Sao Paulo. Bolsonaro previously said that his legal problems were an attempt to stop him from returning to office.
“There are surveys that say that he would be competitive in the 2026 elections in 2026, one of them published today,” said Melo. “There will be political dust, but he will settle.”
