They were arrested on the second day of the G20 gathering, in an operation to"dismantle a criminal organisation responsible for planning a coup d'etat to prevent the government legitimately elected in 2022 elections from taking office," the police said. Tuesday's arrests come under a week after a failed bomb attack on the Supreme Court by a suspected far-right member, who killed himself in the process.
Brazilian media said the judge they plotted to kill was Alexandre de Moraes, a powerful justice who has drawn the ire of the right for his investigations into the far-right and for shutting down the social network X for 40 days in a fight with its owner Elon Musk over disinformation. In October 2022, Lula defeated far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro, who had served a single term in office, to regain power after a decade's absence.
