This is CBS Eye on the World.

Here's John Batchelor.

The New World Report with my colleagues and friends.

Ernesto Arousho, former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Brazil, Joseph Umar,

the executive director of Secure Free Society.

Ernesto, I come immediately to you

because within these last days from Brazil,

we learn of the indictment

against former President Zhao Bolsonaro,

whom you served in his cabinet.

Bolsonaro lost the most recent election

to Lula de Silva very narrowly.

In any event, we knew that there was an allegation that Bolsonaro had been at the head of a group that were looking to overturn the results or challenge the results or in some way interfere with the election of Lula to Silva.

But this indictment surprised me in that it included allegations

of an assassination plot against Lula de Silva, and that means that we're looking at potentially

the rest of his life in jail of Mr. Bolsonaro is convicted of such a charge.

Since then, we've not had any detail about this allegation other than it's floating out there.

I don't believe he's been detained or jailed.

It's all very strange.

Can you help me understand where this assassination plot came from?

It was news.

Good evening to you.
