Bolsonaro Guilty of Coup Plot
Brazil's Supreme Court found former President Jair Bolsonaro guilty of plotting a military coup, with a majority of three justices voting for conviction. The charges stem from Bolsonaro's actions following his 2022 election loss, culminating in the January 8th, 2023, storming of government buildings by his supporters. Bolsonaro faces potential sentences totaling over 40 years, though he denies the charges and plans to appeal. The final vote is pending, with the possibility of a full Supreme Court review if the conviction isn't unanimous.
