Almost 60 years after the 1964 military coup in Brazil, military officials have come under investigation for an attempted coup d’état. In the opinion of three researchers, these are unprecedented inquiries.
The Armed Forces have seized BRL 30.9 mi in objects, including 42 tons of cassiterite, the natural oxide from which tin ore is extracted. The action is a joint effort comprising the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force.
The commanders of the Air Force, Army, and Navy also opposed “possible excesses committed” by protesters who do not accept the outcome of the presidential race.
Troops should be mobilized in 568 locations across 11 states, helping in the distribution of voting machines, transportation of personnel, and security.
A total of 156,454,011 Brazilians are eligible to vote in October. Where and when agents will be engaged should be defined by the country’s top electoral court.
