The recordings, which were obtained by news outlet `The Intercept,’ provide strong evidence of the military’s involvement in the plot.
The audios capture conversations between Bolsonaro and top military officials, including former Defense Minister Walter Braga Netto and former Army Commander General Eduardo Villas Bôas.
