RIO DE JANEIRO/SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian federal police have concluded that former president Jair Bolsonaro had "full knowledge" of a plot to kill then president-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2022 before he took office, CNN Brasil reported on Thursday, citing police sources.

According to CNN, the information on Bolsonaro's acquaintance with the plan will be included in the police's final report on a probe into an alleged coup d'etat attempt.
