Brazil's far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro was questioned by police on Wednesday and denied he had been part of any plan to prevent his successor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva taking the reins.
After spending about three hours at the Federal Police offices in the capital Brasilia, Bolsonaro told reporters "there was no plan" to impede Lula.
The alleged plan, according to do Val, entailed getting the president of the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE), Alexandre de Moraes, to say something compromising, record and release it.
Bolsonaro supporters accuse de Moraes of interfering in the election campaign in Lula's favor.
