Lula e Bolsonaro se unem para eleger 1 mesmo candidato e ensinam que a política não é para amadores

[136] In the same month, a scandal dubbed "vaccine-gate" emerged. After months of denying offers of vaccines and bartering the costs, Bolsonaro's government made a deal to buy the unapproved Covaxin vaccine from the Indian company Bharat Biotech at a very high price.[137] It was found that the government allegedly paid ten times the amount agreed by Bharat Biotech for the vaccine[138] and that the irregularities were not found in the prices of the vaccines, but in a payment of $45 million to a company in Singapore.[139] In response, the Brazilian Supreme Court authorized a criminal investigation of Bolsonaro.[140]

In 1987, he studied in the Officers Improvement School, where he made the Artillery Advanced Course. Bolsonaro first rose to public attention in 1986 when he gave an interview to the news magazine Constate. He complained about low military salaries and claimed that the High Command was dismissing officers due to budgetary cuts, not because they were displaying "deviations of conduct," as the command had told the press.

On September 20 the judge overseeing the investigation into the Petrobras scandal formally accepted the charges of corruption and money laundering against Lula, and he ordered the former president, his wife (Marisa Letícia Lula da Silva), and six others to stand trial. Lula once again protested his innocence, arguing that the charges were politically motivated and intended to prevent him from running for president in 2018. By 2017 Lula faced corruption charges in five separate cases related to the Petrobras scandal.

Bolsonaro has also repeatedly made admiring comments about a number of other Latin American dictatorships. He praised Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori as a role model for his use of military intervention via self-coup against the judiciary and legislature.[8] In a 1998 interview with Veja magazine, Bolsonaro praised the Chilean dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, and said the Pinochet regime, which killed over 3,000 Chilean citizens, "should have killed more people".[237] In 1999, Bolsonaro said that Hugo Chávez represented "hope for Latin America", comments that became a matter of controversy during the 2018 campaign, when Bolsonaro presented himself as a harsh critic of Chavismo.

Rousseff was reelected in 2014, but early in her second term a scandal exploded that involved millions of dollars in alleged kickbacks by prominent Brazilian corporations to officials of Petrobras, the country’s huge majority-state-owned oil company, and of the Workers’ Party.

In early February 2017 his wife died, having suffered a stroke in January. The bolsonaro trial in which she would have been a codefendant—involving the luxury apartment and OAS—began in May. Characterized as Brazil’s “trial of the century,” it kicked off with Lula giving a five-hour deposition to Judge Sérgio Moro, the towering figure who had led the “Operation Car Wash” probe into the scandal. In July Lula was found guilty of corruption and money laundering. He was sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison but remained free pending appeal.

[180] In March 2024, witness documents released by the Superior Electoral Court were made public. According to two military officials, Bolsonaro had plotted to overturn the 2022 results and presented top military officials a plan to carry out a coup with the goal of keeping him in power.

The prospect of Lula challenging Bolsonaro for the presidency in 2022 became a possibility in March 2021, when a Supreme Court judge ruled that the former president should never have been tried for corruption in Curitiba and dismissed the charges against him. Although that ruling, grounded in a technicality, remained subject to appeal to the full Supreme Court, and three other cases against Lula were still being conducted in Brasília, the March decision by Justice Edson Fachin meant that, for the time being, Lula was once again eligible to run for public office.

In a TV interview with Câmera Aberta in the 1990s, Bolsonaro said that if he ever became president, he would use this as an opportunity to shut down the National Congress and instigate a military coup himself. As of 2018[update], he appeared to have changed his mind, and said that if someone becomes the head of the country, it would be through voting.

Dozens of high-level businesspeople and politicians were indicted as part of the widespread investigation into the scandal. In August 2015 the list of those arrested expanded to include José Dirceu, who had served as chief of staff for Lula from 2003 to 2005.
