Brazil's Supreme Federal Court sentences Bolsonaro's son to four years in prison for pressure on judges
Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) has sentenced Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, to four years and two months in prison. The sentence was handed down on Wednesday.
The court found Eduardo guilty of exerting pressure to influence the judicial proceedings of his father, who was accused and later convicted of attempting a coup d'état. According to the STF, in 2024 the federal deputy lobbied the United States government to impose sanctions against Brazilian judges.
The conviction represents a significant development in the context of investigations into events that occurred during Jair Bolsonaro's government. The former president faces multiple legal proceedings related to his actions in office.
