Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes accepted the charges against individuals accused of being part of 'Núcleo 4,' a group alleged to have spread disinformation and attempted to undermine the 2022 elections in Brazil.
The accused, mainly military personnel, are alleged to have used the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) structure to promote disinformation as part of a broader plot to overthrow the government.
The charges include attempts to stage a coup and spreading false information against electoral institutions and election results. The accusations detail how the group worked strategically with other groups to spread disinformation.
The information comes from the Brazilian news outlet Brasil 247, reporting on a decision made in the Supreme Court.
