Brazil supreme court finds that Eduardo Bolsonaro – who resides in the US - tried to get sanctions put on judges trying ex-president over coup plot

Brazil’s supreme court has sentenced Eduardo Bolsonaro to four years and two months in prison after finding him guilty of courting US ⁠interference in his father’s coup plot trial last year.

The office of Brazil’s ‌prosecutor general had ‌charged Eduardo Bolsonaro – who lives in the US - courting interference from the Trump administration to help Jair Bolsonaro’s case, by imposing sanctions on the court’s justices and tariffs on Brazilian goods.

His father, the former far-right president, is serving 27 years in prison for plotting a coup in 2022 after losing the elections to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

        There are some, uh, other issues. Violent crime is a bit higher than I personally find comfortable and Brazilians often complain online how hard it is to afford nice things.

        Politically I’d still take it over the US currently but luckily I don’t have to live in either.

        The German Gestapo Officer Kurt Lischka got sentenced 9 years for the killing of 73.000 people. He was released after 4 YEARS in the '80.

        This is less then the 2/3 you have to stay normally in Germany.

        We did not put them in jail enough sxince always. Dont do the same mistake.
