Streamlined charges against Bolsonaro may speed case ahead of 2026 Brazil vote

Brazilian prosecutors have streamlined charges against former President Jair Bolsonaro regarding his alleged role in a plot to overturn his 2022 electoral loss, which could lead to a ruling before the October 2026 elections.
Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet stated that 34 alleged coup conspirators are divided into five different criminal complaints to optimize the progress of legal proceedings.
Bolsonaro faces five criminal charges, including participation in an armed criminal organization and attempting a violent overthrow of democratic institutions.
A conviction could prevent Bolsonaro from running in the October 2026 presidential election due to constitutional barriers, with changes requiring significant legislative effort.
