The Guardian·Wednesday, 17 June 2026
Brazil's Supreme Court has sentenced Eduardo Bolsonaro to four years and two months in jail for trying to get the Trump administration to impose sanctions on judges overseeing his father Jair Bolsonaro's coup plot trial. Eduardo Bolsonaro lives in the US and had courted US interference in Brazil's judicial process. The court found him guilty of doing so.
