Earlier this week, police arrested five others including a former advisor to Bolsonaro over the alleged plot.
The coup plotters also allegedly had a plan to assassinate Lula’s vice president and a Supreme Court justice.
In October 2022, Lula narrowly beat Bolsonaro in the election. As a result, Bolsonaro’s supporters rioted at government buildings.
Bolsonaro allegedly met with officials from the military and the minister of defense in December 2022 to present a legal plan that would keep him in power.
Bolsonaro denied the allegations of attempting a coup.
Brazil’s political experts said Bolsonaro is already barred from running in the 2026 elections.
