Part 2/6:
In a dramatic turn of events, the Brazilian police disclosed that they had unearthed a conspiracy to assassinate Lula, who had been elected president in 2022. The supposed plan was to eliminate both Lula and his vice president-elect days before they were set to take office. The investigation led to the arrests of five individuals who are suspected of being directly linked to this chilling scheme.
Among those arrested were current and retired military officers, one of whom had previously served in the cabinet of former President Jair Bolsonaro. This connection has ignited speculation about Bolsonaro's potential involvement or endorsement of the plot. Documents confiscated during the arrests outlined a brutal strategy: the assassins intended to use gunfire or poison to execute their plan.
