Brasilia, June 13 (RHC)-- In shocking court testimony this week, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro denied involvement in an alleged plot to overthrow his successor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, but admitted to engaging in conversations about “alternative” strategies to staying in power after he lost his bid for reelection, including declaring a state of siege.
Bolsonaro is accused of discussing a plot to kill Lula, as well as Justice Alexandre de Moraes, now the judge in this case.
