## Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro convicted of plotting coup, sentenced to over 27 years in prison

Authored by cnn.com

The evidence against Bolsonaro largely centered on how he tried to stay in power after losing the presidential election in 2022 to Lula da Silva.

Prosecutors had alleged that the coup plot began in 2021, with efforts to undermine public trust in the electoral system.

Eduardo Bolsonaro, another son of the former president, told Reuters he expects additional US sanctions against Brazilian officials, including justices who voted to convict.
