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.
I thought he was in his 70s? Maybe you know more about the Brazillian justice system tho.
I’m not saying anything about his age. I’m assuming, which I maybe should not, about the politics of many political systems. I’ll give it 3 years, plus/minus 3 years.
You think they will parole him or convert it to house arrest?
