Final phase of Bolsonaro’s coup trial begins in Brazil

Brazil’s Supreme Court has begun verdict deliberations in the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro, the Donald Trump ally accused of plotting a coup to retain power after he lost the 2022 election.

In opening comments for the multi-day session, presiding Justice Alexandre de Moraes said Bolsonaro aimed to install a "real dictatorship" when he allegedly launched the uprising. Bolsonaro faces a prison sentence of more than four decades if convicted.
