Brazil’s Department of Federal Police announced indictments on Nov. 21 against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, and 36 others, on allegations they attempted to keep him in power through a violent coup d’état.
The charges follow a nearly two-year investigation into the Jan. 8, 2023, breach of the Brazilian federal government buildings, including its National Congress and Supreme Court.

“The investigations showed that the investigated parties structured themselves through a division of tasks, which allowed the individualization of conduct and the confirmation of the existence of the following groups,” Brazil’s federal police said in a Nov. 21 statement.
