I find it slightly interesting that the article states he was one of the instigators of the coup, yet that he was acquitted in trial. Those seem contradictory, without additional information being provided... I mean, I'm sure it's possible that someone committed a crime even when they were later acquitted from doing so in court, but one would need to cite tangible evidence to still support the position that they did in fact commit the crime even though they were not convicted of it, and the article fails to do so.
