Brazilian Ex-Minister Denies Coup Involvement in STF Testimony

Brazil's Supreme Court hears testimony from former Defense Minister Paulo Sérgio Nogueira in ongoing coup attempt investigation. Nogueira, appearing before the STF on June 10th, 2025, firmly denied any involvement in plotting a coup, stating, "I never discussed a coup draft with my three commanders." However, he acknowledged using "inappropriate words" when criticizing the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) following the recent elections. This testimony comes after several other high-ranking officials, including former President Jair Bolsonaro, have been questioned as part of the investigation into alleged attempts to subvert the democratic process. The ongoing investigation continues to unravel the details of this significant political event.
