Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Sunday was sworn in as Brazil's president for the third time, replacing his political opponent, Jair Bolsonaro, who served four years.
The entire police of Brasilia will be deployed for Brazilian president-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's inauguration on Sunday (January 1), after a man was arrested for a bomb plot hoping to sow "chaos" in the country, according to an official on Tuesday.
Last Saturday, the Brazilian Police arrested the man George Washington de Oliveira Sousa for allegedly placing explosives in a fuel truck near Brasilia's airport. Oliveira Sousa is a supporter of the country's outgoing president Jair Bolsonaro. He was arrested after the truck's driver found the device.
A man was arrested following a Brazil bomb threat by trying to detonate explosives near an airport. A man suspected of trying to "sow chaos" by making a Brazil bomb threat before the inauguration of Lula presidency on January 1 has been arrested.
The attorney general's office said on Twitter the detained generals are being investigated for "allegedly having paid to rise in rank in 2021 with the authorization of former President Pedro Castillo." The arrests come as Castillo, who was arrested earlier this month after lawmakers voted him out of office for attempting to illegally dissolve Congress, is investigated for so-called influence peddling.
