A panel of Brazilian Supreme Court justices has rendered a conviction against former President Jair Bolsonaro. The court determined that Bolsonaro engaged in a coup attempt to maintain his political position following his 2022 electoral defeat. The conviction stems from a legal proceeding focused on the actions taken to undermine democratic processes and destabilize the electoral system. The sentence will result in a total of 27 years and three months of imprisonment, reflecting the seriousness of the alleged offense. The legal proceedings are currently ongoing.
