In the accusation, Ganet described the crime as a part of a chain of events formulated for a comprehensive purpose to stop Bolsonar leave the post, “contrary to the results of the popular election.”
The Supreme Court will analyze the allegations and, if accepted, Bolsonar will file a court.
The far -right leader denies violations. “I have no concern about the allegations, zero,” Balsanar told reporters earlier on Tuesday during a visit to the Senate in Brazil.
“You saw the decree of the coup, accidentally? You don't. I don't,” he added.
