Brazil: Corruption probe targets Bolsonaro ahead of election
Zeit OnlineLO·BR·about 6 hours ago
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has voted to maintain the conviction of Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, for coercion, discarding his 'confession' as a mitigating factor. Eduardo was sentenced to four years and two months in prison in semi-open regime plus a fine. The final ruling depends on the full court, but this vote signals continued judicial pressure on the Bolsonaro family.
