São Paulo Governor Denies Knowledge of Bolsonaro Coup Plot

Brazil's Supreme Court heard testimony from São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas on May 30, 2025, as part of the ongoing investigation into former President Jair Bolsonaro's alleged coup attempt. Governor Freitas stated unequivocally that he was never aware of any such plans by Bolsonaro and described the former president as "sad and resigned" following his electoral defeat. This testimony adds another layer to the complex investigation and will likely be closely scrutinized by the court. The STF is expected to continue hearing witnesses in the coming days.
