Bolsonaro Sentenced to 27 Years, Begins Prison Term

Brazils Supreme Court has closed the coup-plotting case against former President Jair Bolsonaro, confirming his conviction and prison sentence of over twenty-seven years. The court rejected his appeal earlier this month, and he has been in police custody since Saturday, following reports of tampering with his ankle monitor. Bolsonaro denies any intention to escape or tamper with the device, attributing his actions to a mix of anticonvulsant drugs for chronic hiccups. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
