BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil’s federal police on Thursday launched an operation targeting some of former President Jair Bolsonaro’s top aides, in an investigation into an attempted coup after his election defeat, sources involved in the operation told Reuters.
The targets of search warrants include General Walter Braga Netto, a former minister and former vice-presidential candidate on Bolsonaro’s campaign, former Defense Minister Paulo Nogueira Batista and former Justice Minister Anderson Torres, the sources said.
