Brazil’s former president sentenced to 27 years over coup attempt

ARTHUR MENESCA Bloomberg CHIEF JUSTICE Cármen Lúcia voted to convict ex-president Jair Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro, 70, is currently under house arrest in Brasilia. He can appeal the sentence.

Four of the five justices reviewing the case in the panel found the far-right politician guilty on five counts.

U.S. President Trump said hours later that he was “very unhappy” with the conviction. Speaking to reporters as he departed the White House, he said he always found Bolsonaro to be “outstanding.”

Bolsonaro is the first former Brazilian president to be convicted of attempting a coup. He has not attended the court proceedings, and on Thursday morning he was seen at his house's garage but didn't speak to reporters.
