Brazil’s Bolsonaro guilty of coup charges, court majority decides in landmark trial
BRASILIA: Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro was convicted by a Supreme Court majority on Thursday of plotting a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 election, a powerful blow to the populist far-right movement he created. The presumptive ruling by a majority of a panel of five justices in Brazil’s Supreme Court makes Bolsonaro the first former president in the country’s history to be convicted for attacking democracy. Three judges so far have voted to convict, one acquitted, and one remains to vote.
