Walter Braga Netto, four-star Army general, former Minister of Defense, and Bolsonaro's vice-presidential running mate in 2022, was arrested in December 2024 on STF orders. The Federal Police accused him of leading the alleged coup plot, including involvement in a plan to assassinate President Lula, Vice President Alckmin, and Justice Moraes. The arrest of a four-star general is unprecedented in Brazilian history.
