Brazil's former President Bolsonaro refuses to testify in coup investigation. He was defeated by the left-wing politician Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the runoff election for the presidency in October 2022.
On January 8, 2023, supporters of the ex-military who did not want to recognize Lula's election victory stormed Congress, the seat of government and the Supreme Court in Brasília. The police launched a large-scale operation two weeks ago, executing search warrants and arrest warrants as well as preventative measures.
