FORMER Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro’s lawyers this week filed an appeal against his 27-year prison sentence for a botched coup bid after his 2022 election loss.

The far-right firebrand’s lawyers allege “ambiguities, omissions, contradictions and obscurities” in the Supreme Court decision finding him guilty of attempting to oust President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, in a divisive trial that sparked the ire of US President Donald Trump.

Supreme Court judges have no deadline to examine the appeal arguments.

The plot envisaged the assassination of Lula, his vice president Geraldo Alckmin, and Alexandre de Moraes - one of the five Supreme Court judges deciding Bolsonaro’ fate.

Prosecutors said the plan failed only due to a lack of support from military top brass.

Bolsonaro has been under house arrest since August. Under Brazilian law, he will not be sent to prison until all legal avenues are exhausted.
