BRASILIA: A Brazilian army colonel wanted by police in an investigation into am attempted coup by associates of Brazil’s former far-right president was arrested on Sunday when he returned from the United States.
Colonel Bernardo Correa Neto was arrested at Brasilia’s airport when he arrived and put in detention at an army garrison after a custody hearing.He was sent to the United States by the army on a mission at the Inter-American Defense College in Washington in December 2022, when former President Jair Bolsonaro left for Florida days before the swearing in of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.Bolsonaro never conceded defeat by Lula in the October 2022 election and was declared ineligible for elected office until 2030 for abusing his power as president and attacking Brazil’s voting system by making baseless claims that it was open to fraud.Bolsonaro, a far-right populist often likened to former US president Donald Trump, has denied the conspiracy and called the investigation political persecution.
