Brazilian police executed several arrest warrants and confiscated passports. The former head of state of Brazil could face criminal proceedings as a result of his reaction to the 2022 election defeat.
The reason for the allegations was the behavior of Bolsonaro and his supporters after the ultra-right then incumbent's defeat in the 2022 presidential election. On Thursday, Brazilian media had already published a recording of a cabinet meeting from the summer of 2022, at which the spread of disinformation in the run-up to the election was discussed. The video also plays an important role in the police investigation.
