Brazilian authorities have arrested multiple members of an elite army unit, revealing a shocking plot to assassinate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva before he officially took office as president. This conspiracy aimed to maintain Jair Bolsonaro's presidency after he was defeated in the 2022 elections.
Among the arrested individuals, four were military personnel, including a former aide to Bolsonaro. A federal police agent was also part of the group, which allegedly demonstrated sophisticated military planning skills in their assassination preparations. According to police reports, the plot not only targeted Lula but also his designated vice president, Geraldo Alckmin, and aimed at eliminating a Supreme Court justice, although the name of the justice has not been disclosed.
The police emphasized that the planning detailed comprehensive human and military resources necessary for executing the assassination. However, there has been no confirmation on whether the plot was fully executed or came to a halt before reaching fruition.
A representative for Bolsonaro, Paulo Cunha Bueno, has firmly denied any involvement or prior knowledge of the assassination conspiracy, asserting that the former president had no part in any plan of this type.
As investigations continue, the case presents grave implications for Brazil’s political climate and the security of its elected officials, revealing the lengths some factions may go to in order to sway political power.
