independent.co.uk

Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro faces multiple legal challenges following his failed reelection in 2022. Recently, he was indicted for allegedly attempting a coup to remain in power. The Supreme Court will decide on this and other serious investigations. In June, Brazil's electoral court ruled Bolsonaro ineligible to run for office until 2030 for misusing government resources to promote his campaign. He has appealed this decision, but the court's findings complicate his chances of success. Bolsonaro is also under investigation for various allegations, including tampering with health records related to COVID-19 vaccinations and smuggling luxury jewelry. These cases are ongoing, with potential criminal charges pending.
