SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian prosecutors presented a streamlined version of charges against former President Jair Bolsonaro this week over a plot to overturn his 2022 electoral loss, which could boost the chances of a final ruling before next year's elections.
Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet divided the 34 alleged coup conspirators into five different criminal complaints "to optimize the progress of legal proceedings," he wrote in a court filing. The complaint against Bolsonaro involves seven others.
