Brazilian Attorney General’s 272-page indictment accuses former President Jair Bolsonaro of orchestrating a coup attempt, facing potential decades in prison for crimes including participation in an attempted coup and forming an armed criminal association. This contrasts sharply with the lack of accountability for similar alleged offenses by Donald Trump in the United States. Brazilian officials and legal experts celebrate their institutions’ success in holding Bolsonaro accountable, highlighting a stronger democratic defense compared to the US.
