URGENT: Bolsonaro Convicted of Masterminding Coup Attempt in Brazil

Breaking News: Bolsonaro Convicted of Masterminding Coup Attempt in Brazil Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been found guilty by the country's Supreme Court of plotting a military coup after losing the 2022 election. The conviction comes with heavy sentences, potentially adding up to over 40 years in prison. Bolsonaro was convicted on three votes out of four, with one judge dissenting and another yet to vote. The charges stem from his alleged role in leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after the election loss. The plot culminated in the storming of government buildings by his supporters on January 8, 2023.

The conviction is a significant blow to Bolsonaro's legacy and could have far-reaching implications for Brazilian politics. Sentencing is scheduled for Friday, which will determine the exact length of Bolsonaro's potential prison term.
