Arrested in Paraguay one of those implicated in Bolsonaro's coup attempt

One of those convicted in the coup plot linked to former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro was detained in Paraguay when attempting to flee, according to Google News PY — Crime.

The arrest occurred whilst the individual was in Paraguayan territory in an apparent attempt to evade Brazilian justice. The detention was confirmed by the competent authorities, although the operational details of the procedure were not disclosed immediately.

The case forms part of the judicial process that Brazil is pursuing against those implicated in the so-called coup plot, in which several convicted individuals are said to have participated in actions against the constitutional order during the period following the 2022 presidential elections.

The capture on Paraguayan soil demonstrates the cooperation between both countries in matters of extradition and the pursuit of fugitives from regional justice.
