Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro found guilty of plotting military coup by Supreme Court judges. The 70-year-old faced charges including attempted coup, leading armed criminal organization, and other offenses related to storming government buildings by his supporters in January 2023. Bolsonaro, who denies allegations, faces heavy prison sentences totaling more than 40 years. The verdict, seen as a blow to his right-wing politics, follows a contentious trial marked by his absence due to health reasons and claims of political motivation.
