Jair Bolsonaro

The former far-right populist president, Jair Bolsonaro, will face trial for allegedly attempting to overturn his 2022 reelection loss and stage a violent coup.

Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro and several others have been charged with attempting to overthrow incoming government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2022.

Testimonies of two former military commanders to police include the first direct mentions of Jair Bolsonaro as actively participating in a conspiracy to ignore the results of the 2022 election.

Former president Bolosnaro rejected the report's findings, issued by lawmakers mostly allied with the current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, as biased. "It's completely biased," Bolsonaro said.

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been barred from office for eight years for abuse of power, after he made unfounded claims about Brazil's voting system ahead of last year's election.

Police raided former President Jair Bolsonaro's home, investigating claims of suspected efforts to falsify vaccination records to travel to the U.S. He denies any role in allegedly forging documents.

The far-right leader went to Florida after losing his bid for reelection, days before his rival was inaugurated. While in Florida, Bolsonaro frequently met with supporters and conservative groups.

A scandal is unfolding in Brazil involving millions of dollars worth of jewels, the Saudi government and former President Jair Bolsonaro.

The ex-president left Brazil for Florida a week before his supporters rioted in Brasilia. Analysts say his special diplomatic visa expired Tuesday, leaving U.S. authorities to decide his legal status.

Jair Bolsonaro, who lost his presidential re-election bid late last year, has been staying in an Orlando suburb since Dec. 30. Some supporters have traveled from Brazil in hopes of seeing him.
