Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro could spend decades behind bars after the country's Supreme Court found him guilty of plotting a military coup.
The far-right politician who governed Brazil between 2019 and 2022 was convicted on Thursday on five counts of attempting an insurrection to remain in office despite his electoral defeat three years ago.
Justice Carmen Lucia voted to convict Bolsonaro,siding with justices Alexandre de Moraes and Flavio Dino.
She said there was enough evidence indicating that the former president had acted 'with the purpose of eroding democracy and institutions.'
Justice Luiz Fux was the only one dissenting so far, voting to acquit the former president.
