The step by step of the coup plan found in the PL headquarters


A federal police investigation found a document on the desk of General Braga’s advisor Netto detailing the coup.




The federal police report that indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others for attempted coup contains handwritten documents on how the operation would work.

Police said they found a draft of a plan titled Operation 142 at the headquarters of the Liberal Party (Bolsonaro’s party).

This document was found on the desk of Colonel Flávio Botelho Peregrino, advisor to General Braga Netto, candidate for vice president in 2022 with Bolsonaro.

The document concludes that the “desired political end state” is: “Lula will not walk on the ramp.” Among the steps described by the scam operation are:

  • Cancellation of the 2022 elections
  • Extension of politicians’ mandates
  • Replacement of the entire Superior Electoral Tribunal
  • Preparation of new elections
  • Intervention on national TV and radio
  • Preparation of troops for direct actions
  • Cancellation of arbitrary acts of the STF


A handwritten document found in the headquarters of the PL, Bolsonaro's party, describes in detail what a coup d'état would look like

The document was found inside a folder entitled “important memories”.

“The name given to the document alludes to Article 142 of the Federal Constitution (CF), which concerns the Armed Forces and was a possibility raised by the suspects as a means of implementing an institutional rupture after the electoral defeat of President Jair Bolsonaro”, we read in report from the Federal Police, the secret of which was revealed on Tuesday (26/11) by the Minister of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Alexandre de Moraes.

The Federal Police believes that the project was prepared between November and December 2022.

“The document demonstrates that Braga Netto and its surroundings (…) had a clear coup intent, with the aim of subverting the democratic rule of law, using an anomalous interpretation of article 142 of the CF, to try to legitimize the Coup state,” the report reads.

The step-by-step instructions for the coup in the document “Operation 142” are written as follows:
