RIO DE JANEIRO: Brazilian police arrested four senior army officers on Tuesday over an alleged plot to assassinate then President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in a 2022 “coup.”
The four “were arrested in Rio, where they were participating in the security operation for the G20 leaders´ meeting,” a federal police source told AFP, adding that a police officer was also taken into custody.
The army, in a statement, denied that the arrested officers were part of the G20 security deployment and a statement by Brazil´s federal police made no link to the ongoing summit.
