PSD Senator Carlos Viana Defects to Bolsonaro in Brazil Presidential Race
Valor Econômico·BR·3 days ago
Three days before Brazil's election, former President Jair Bolsonaro petitioned the Supreme Court to annul his coup-attempt conviction and suspend his sentence, citing alleged irregularities in digital evidence chain of custody. The move is a last-minute legal gambit that could influence the electoral landscape, though the court's response is uncertain. This is a continuation of Bolsonaro's legal battles, but the timing—just before the vote—marks a notable escalation in his post-presidency strategy.
