Former President Bolsonaro Allegedly Aware of Murder Plan Against Rival Lula

brazil - CNN Brasil reports that former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was fully aware of a plan to murder his rival Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

CNN Brasil has revealed that former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was allegedly fully aware of a plan to murder his political rival Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The plan came to light after the arrest of five military and police members who were reportedly involved in the plot in 2022, shortly after Bolsonaro lost the elections to Lula. It is claimed that they were planning a coup at that time. Bolsonaro never accepted his defeat in the elections and left for the United States just before the transfer of power. In January 2023, his supporters stormed various government buildings when Lula had only been in power for a few days.

CNN Brasil also reports that the plan allegedly included intentions to assassinate Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
