The coup trial of Brazil's right-wing former President Jair Bolsonaro will enter its final stage on Tuesday.

He is accused of masterminding an attempt to stay in power after losing his bid for re-election in 2022, which culminated in his supporters breaking into and vandalising government buildings in the capital, Brasília.

A panel of five Supreme Court judges is expected to reach a verdict by 12 September.

Bolsonaro has always denied any wrongdoing and said the charges were politically motivated.

His cause has been adopted by US President Donald Trump, who has called the trial a "witch-hunt", using it as justification for imposing 50% tariffs on some Brazilian goods and sanctioning the Supreme Court judge leading the proceedings.
