Bolsonaro's lawyers to present his defence at coup trial

Bolsonaro's lawyers are set to present his defense in the coup trial, as the former Brazilian President faces charges of attempting a coup after losing the 2022 election. Bolsonaro has denied the allegations, calling the trial politically motivated. The trial, overseen by a panel of five Supreme Court justices, is expected to reach a verdict by September 12, with the possibility of Bolsonaro facing over 40 years in prison if found guilty. The prosecution's case includes charges of leading an armed criminal organization and attempting the violent abolition of the democratic rule of law.
