Bolsonaro Admits to Being a U.S. Informant and Asks for Intervention in Brazil, Says Journalist. Videos Reveal His Plan to Convince Trump to Act Against the Country. The Allegation Involves Espionage, Betrayal, and Secret International Agreements.
Jair Bolsonaro has returned to the spotlight by declaring that he passed on information to former U.S. President Donald Trump about Brazil’s political and economic situation.
According to journalist José Casado from the magazine Veja, Bolsonaro suggested that only external intervention could solve the country’s problems.
The statement generated a strong reaction and raised questions about the limits between diplomatic relations and possible acts of betrayal against the homeland.

A Shift in Stance
On the eve of turning 70, Bolsonaro no longer hides that his trajectory has undergone significant transformations.
He overcame the “excessive ambition to achieve financial and economic success,” as pointed out in Army assessments in the 1980s.
Currently, the former president is among the new millionaires in Brazilian politics, accumulating an estimated wealth of more than R$ 14 million.
Additionally, his eagerness for political projection, which led him to controversial episodes in the past, such as the plan for attacks on military barracks in Rio de Janeiro in 1987, now seems to give way to a discourse focused on the international scene.
According to José Casado, Bolsonaro is now betting on a narrative hinting at a possible alliance with the Trump administration to influence Brazil’s direction.
Ineligibility and New Political Strategy
With his ineligibility confirmed until 2030 and at risk of new legal proceedings, Bolsonaro has adopted a different strategy.
He stated that Brazil will not solve its problems internally and that it would need external support.
The former president mentioned agreements signed between Brazil and China, suggesting that this could justify intervention by the United States.
According to José Casado, Bolsonaro claimed that Brazil was being handed over to China, citing a supposed nuclear energy agreement.
These allegations, however, find no support in official documents or public statements from the Brazilian government.
The Role of Informant and the Risk of Betrayal
It is not common for a former president to publicly admit to acting as an informant for a foreign power.
Even rarer is seeing a leader who has held the highest office in the Republic suggest external intervention in their own country.
Bolsonaro stated that he had already passed information to Trump’s team, mentioning American concerns about the possible transformation of Brazil into a new Venezuela.
According to José Casado, the former president’s remarks can be interpreted as an attempt to strategically position himself within a network of international influence.
Frustrated Initiatives with Russia and the U.S.
Bolsonaro’s relationship with nuclear issues is not new.
During his government, Brazil reached out to NATO about the possibility of joining cyber defense initiatives.
In response, Russia offered Brazil partnerships in the nuclear field, including cooperation in uranium enrichment and reactor construction.
In December 2021, Bolsonaro sent Admiral Flávio Rocha to Russia to discuss these matters.
The Russians, through the state-owned company Rosatom, presented proposals for technology transfer and expansion of uranium mining.
However, with the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, these agreements were sidelined.
José Casado emphasizes that Bolsonaro seemed interested in these projects but was unable to realize them.
Bolsonaro and the Risk of Crime Against National Sovereignty
By publicly declaring that he acted as an informant for Trump’s team, Bolsonaro may have placed himself in a delicate legal situation.
Law No. 14,197, signed by the former president in 2021, classifies crimes against national sovereignty and espionage.
Among the offenses outlined is the provision of information to foreign governments that may compromise constitutional order.
Penalties for these crimes range from 12 to 15 years in prison and can be increased if the individual has privileged access to the country’s strategic information.
If there is evidence that Bolsonaro negotiated directly with a foreign power to intervene in Brazil, he could face serious consequences.
According to José Casado, if the Brazilian Justice decides to act on these statements, Bolsonaro may face new formal charges.
The political landscape continues to change, and the repercussions of these statements may still have significant impacts on the former president and the country.
What do you think of Bolsonaro’s statements about the need for external intervention in Brazil?
Isso só confirma quão inconsequente e louco ele é e sempre o foi! Essas afirmações servem para que a justiça o emprisione para evitar maiores danos à nação.
Esse pisicopata **** já deveria tar preso a muito tempo, tá com saudades dis 5 mil militar que nome cargo de confiança, morais investiga se não tinha rachadura. Esse é um ****, nunca prestou o exército espulsou o lacraia
Todo mal sempre é convertido em bem… Para alguma coisa ele servira.
