The former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison after being found guilty of plotting a military coup.
A panel of five Supreme Court justices handed down the sentence just hours after they had convicted the former leader.
They ruled he was guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
A life sentence. Not a death sentence.
What I mean is he is no longer going to be a threat and he will die in prison.
Brazil can still pull a US anti-human move and elect the right wing next an he’ll be pardoned.
I hope not.
Agreed
