Bolsonaro running mate probed over plan to deploy special forces in Brazil coup plot
BRASILIA – Brazilian police are investigating if a retired general who was far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro's running mate planned to bring Army special forces to the country's capital as part of a plan for a military coup after losing the 2022 election.
"Braga Netto acted as an encourager and influencer among the other Army commanders," said one of the sources, who asked for anonymity to speak openly about an ongoing investigation. According to the sources, the plan hatched at that meeting was to secretly bring to Brasilia troops with special training in counter-insurgency warfare and sabotage techniques to provoke violence to justify martial law and annulling the election.
