Abstract

The article focuses on a ruling by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes allowing former president Jair Bolsonaro to serve his 27-year prison sentence for plotting a coup under house arrest due to his deteriorating health. Bolsonaro was convicted of attempting to remain in power after losing the 2022 election, including an alleged assassination plot against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and others. The decision follows Bolsonaro’s recent hospitalization for pneumonia and comes after previous denials of similar requests. The ruling occurs amid tensions within the Supreme Court linked to a separate banking fraud scandal and political pressures ahead of Brazil’s upcoming presidential election.
