Brazil's Supreme Court had a historic moment on Tuesday when it heard a confrontation between an army colonel and general, both disgraced for their involvement in an alleged coup plot to keep former President Jair Bolsonaro in office. Analysts say the hearing of army officials at a civilian court could mark a turning point for a country where military men have long enjoyed immunity from prosecution. Lt. Col. Mauro Cid and Gen. Walter Braga Netto were summoned to testify in an explosive case that accuses them, along with other military officers, Bolsonaro and several other people of undermining their country’s democracy.
