Brazil’s Supreme Court panel sentenced Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and three months for attempting a coup after losing the 2022 election. Four of five justices voted to convict him on five counts. Bolsonaro, under house arrest in Brasília, will appeal to the full 11-member court. Prosecutors say the plot included plans to target Lula and a Supreme Court justice, deepening Brazil’s political rift.
