Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been formally charged with orchestrating a coup attempt to overturn the 2022 election results, which he narrowly lost to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet filed the charges, accusing Bolsonaro and 33 associates, including military officials, of leading a “criminal organization” aimed at undermining Brazil’s democratic institutions. The alleged plot, dubbed “Green and Yellow Dagger,” reportedly involved plans to assassinate President Lula and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, as well as to poison Vice President Geraldo Alckmin.

These charges follow a two-year investigation into Bolsonaro supporters’ riots in early 2023, shortly after President Lula assumed office. The indictment includes serious allegations such as participating in an armed criminal organization and attempting to violently overthrow the democratic rule of law. If convicted, Bolsonaro could face up to 20 years in prison. He has denied any wrongdoing, claiming the accusations lack evidence and are politically motivated.

The Supreme Court will now decide whether to accept the charges, which could lead to a high-profile trial. This development further complicates Bolsonaro’s political future, especially following a previous decision barring him from running in the 2026 presidential election.
