A panel on Brazil’s Supreme Court has ruled to convict five men accused of plotting the 2018 assassination of a human rights leader-turned politician Marielle Franco and her driver, Anderson Gomes.
The justices on the panel were unanimous in Wednesday’s decision, which marked the climax of a closely watched trial that raised questions about polarisation, corruption and race in Brazilian society.
