Former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil oversaw a broad conspiracy to hold on
to power regardless of the results of the 2022 election, including personally
editing a proposed order to arrest a Supreme Court justice and call new
elections after he lost, according to new accusations by Brazilian federal
police unveiled on Thursday.

Mr. Bolsonaro and dozens of top aides, ministers and military leaders
coordinated to undermine the Brazilian public’s faith in the election and set
the stage for a potential coup, the federal police said.

Their efforts included spreading disinformation about voter fraud, drafting
legal arguments for new elections, recruiting military personnel to support a
coup, surveilling judges and encouraging and guiding protesters who eventually
raided government buildings, police said.

An earlier version of this article misstated the number of people targeted by
the police operation. It is 25, not more than 45.

An earlier version of this article misstated that Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s
former president, was subject to a search warrant. He was ordered to turn over
his passport, but was not issued a search warrant.
