Alleged Coup: Ex-Brazil president, Jair Bolsonaro to stand trial

Published on March 26, 2025 at 09:32 PM

Brazil's supreme court on Wednesday decided to put the country's former president Jair Bolsonaro on trial over an alleged coup plot.

All the five judges accepted the charges against Bolsonaro which is related to an effort to claim power after his presidential election defeat in 2022.

Recall that Brazil's prosecutor general had charged Bolsonaro and 33 others last month.

The plans reportedly included poisoning his successor President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and killing a Supreme Court judge.

Bolsonaro has often denied wrongdoing and claimed he is being politically persecuted.

In Brazil, coup charges carry a sentence of up to twelve years in prison.

Bolsonaro was president of Brazil from January 2019 to December 2022.
