Bolsonaro Aide's Phone Contains Plans for Military Coup, Brazilian Police Say

Brazilian Federal Police found a detailed planning document for a military intervention to block the handover of power in last year’s election on the phone of an aide to former President Jair Bolsonaro. The plan was found on the phone of Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, one of Bolsonaro’s personal assistants who stayed on as an aide after he stepped down. The three-page document provided a road map for how to block Lula’s inauguration, using the military as a “moderating force.”
