Former Brazilian President Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years and 3 months in prison.

On the 11th local time, the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court sentenced former President Bolsonaro to 27 years and 3 months in prison for conspiracy to overthrow the government. Earlier that day, the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court ruled by majority vote that former President Bolsonaro was guilty of multiple charges. In October 2022, Brazil held presidential elections, in which Lula defeated Bolsonaro in the second round of voting and was elected the new president. On January 8, 2023, some Bolsonaro supporters attacked the Brazilian Congress, the presidential palace, and the Federal Supreme Court, causing severe damage. Subsequently, Brazilian judicial institutions launched investigations into the events and brought forward various charges.
