Former Brazil president spent two nights at legation after two close aides were detained in February over alleged coup plot
Brazil’s embattled former president Jair Bolsonaro spent two nights “hiding” at the Hungarian embassy in Brasília last month as federal police investigators closed in on some of his closest allies, the New York Times has claimed.
Security footage obtained by the US newspaper appeared to show that in early February – four days after two Bolsonaro aides were arrested on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the Brazilian government – the rightwing populist took shelter in the embassy, a short drive from the presidential palace Bolsonaro once occupied.
