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.
He’s 70, so this sentence is likely life in prison for him, unless he gets parole or some other bullshit like that, which he does not deserve. Make an example out of those who try to fuck with the democratic process or you end up like US today.
