The charges essentially adopted <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/21\/world\/americas\/bolsonaro-coup-brazil-election-charges.html\" title=\"\">recommendations from Brazil\u2019s federal police<\/a> made in November.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The case will now go before Brazil\u2019s Supreme Court, which will decide whether to order Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s arrest and have him face trial. If convicted, he could face 12 to 40 years in prison, according to the indictment, though political analysts expect any sentence to be shorter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a statement, Mr. Bolsonaro, 69, called the indictment \u201cthe weaponization of the justice system\u201d and compared himself to President Trump, a political ally he often emulates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The accusations are \u201cnothing more than a desperate attempt to criminalize my political movement, silence millions of Brazilians and rig the next election before a single vote is cast,\u201d Mr. Bolsonaro said, adding that he had handed over power peacefully. \u201cThis is the same failed strategy that was used against President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The charges are the latest chapter in a yearslong saga for Brazil that has included Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/10\/25\/world\/americas\/brazil-bolsonaro-misinformation.html\" title=\"\">discrediting of the nation\u2019s voting systems<\/a>; a tense election in which Mr. Bolsonaro <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/31\/world\/americas\/brazil-election-results-bolsonaro-lula.html\" title=\"\">never fully accepted defeat<\/a>; an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/08\/world\/americas\/brazil-jan-6-riots.html\" title=\"\">invasion of the halls of power<\/a> by his supporters; and a high-profile investigation that has left his running mate <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/14\/world\/americas\/brazil-arrest-ally-bolsonaro.html\" title=\"\">in jail since December<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now Brazilians may witness a televised Supreme Court trial that could end up making Mr. Bolsonaro their third president in the past eight years to be sent to prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That would provide a striking contrast with the United States. Mr. Bolsonaro and Mr. Trump have both now been indicted on charges of pushing to overturn elections. But Mr. Trump\u2019s case was dropped as he returned to power, while Mr. Bolsonaro is at perhaps his weakest political point yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Brazil\u2019s electoral court has already ruled that Mr. Bolsonaro is ineligible to run in the presidential election next year. The attorney general is weighing two other criminal cases against him. And the Supreme Court justice set to oversee this case is arguably his political archrival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Mr. Trump was largely immune from prosecution for his actions as president, Brazil\u2019s Supreme Court has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/16\/world\/americas\/brazil-supreme-court-expanded-powers-democracy.html\" title=\"\">acted aggressively<\/a> against Mr. Bolsonaro and his right-wing movement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The court has overseen investigations, ordered arrests and censored many of Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s supporters on social media, arguing that the anti-democratic actions of his movement required an extraordinary response. Now the court\u2019s 11 justices could decide Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn a republic, all can be held accountable,\u201d Mr. Gonet Branco wrote in a 17-page introduction attached to the indictment. \u201cThe president of the republic does not escape this rule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The indictment details a variety of actions that prosecutors say Mr. Bolsonaro and dozens of his allies \u2014 mostly current or former members of the military \u2014 carried out over months. First they tried to undermine the public\u2019s faith in the 2022 election, and then, after Mr. Bolsonaro lost, they tried to overturn the results, the indictment said. It also detailed several plots that prosecutors say the group discussed and began to execute, but ultimately abandoned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One of those plots, according to the indictment, involved declaring a \u201cstate of siege\u201d \u2014 an emergency provision in the Constitution \u2014 which Mr. Bolsonaro would then have used to order the arrest of Supreme Court justices, grant new powers to the military and call for new elections overseen by his allies. Investigators said they even found the draft of a speech Mr. Bolsonaro would give once he announced the takeover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/19\/world\/americas\/brazil-soldiers-president-lula-assassination-plot.html\" title=\"\">even darker plot<\/a>, prosecutors say, involved poisoning Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva, who defeated Mr. Bolsonaro in the 2022 election, before he could be sworn in as president and fatally shooting Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court justice who has overseen the investigations into Mr. Bolsonaro and would be the lead judge in his trial. The assassinations were to be carried out by a small group of elite military agents, according to the indictment, and the men had already begun tracking the movements of Justice Moraes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The indictment also says the assassination plan was presented to Mr. Bolsonaro. In a WhatsApp message on Dec. 12, 2022, one organizer of the plot told another that Mr. Bolsonaro had told him they could carry out the assassinations anytime before Dec. 31, according to the indictment. Mr. Lula was set to be inaugurated on Jan. 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI said, \u2018Come on, president. The sooner the better. We\u2019ve already lost so many opportunities,\u2019 \u201d the organizer, M\u00e1rio Fernandes, was quoted as saying in the message.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Fernandes has denied the accusations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/18\/world\/americas\/brazil-bolsonaro-coup-charges.html\" title=\"\">an interview last month<\/a>, Mr. Bolsonaro said he had explored the idea of using a \u201cstate of siege\u201d to keep Mr. Lula from taking office because he was concerned that the elections had been rigged. But he said that he quickly dropped the idea when it became clear Congress would have to approve the order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He denied having any knowledge of an assassination plot, blaming it on Mr. Fernandes. \u201cEven so, I think it was just another fantasy \u2014 bravado,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEveryone is responsible for their actions,\u201d Mr. Bolsonaro added. \u201cAlthough, as far as I know, he did not take any action.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Brazil was ruled by a military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985.

He said in an interview last month that he would not see \u201cI\u2019m Still Here,\u201d calling it a leftist rewriting of history. \u201cThe story always has two sides,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p
