SAO PAULO (AP) 鈥 In a story published Nov. 21, 2024, The Associated Press reported that Federal Police indicted Brazil鈥檚 former President Jair Bolsonaro and allies for attempting a coup. In Brazil, an indictment is the step in which authorities present their accusations and recommend charges, and comes before the formal filing of charges by prosecutors. This story changes the word used from 鈥渋ndicted鈥 to 鈥渇ormally accused鈥 in order to prevent confusion.
