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.
Will still be capped so even at 40 years max, his lawyers will be trying to get him released with 20 or less years in jail for good behavior or what not
20 or less will make him up to 90 years old. It’ll do.
