Overview

• A five-justice panel voted 4–1 to find Jair Bolsonaro guilty on five counts, including attempting a coup and joining an armed criminal organization.
• Bolsonaro remains under house arrest as the court has up to 60 days to publish its opinion before defense motions and an appeal to all 11 justices proceed.
• Several former senior officials and military figures were also sentenced, including Walter Braga Netto (26 years), Almir Garnier (24), Augusto Heleno (21) and Paulo Sérgio Nogueira (19).
• Justice Luiz Fux issued the lone dissent, arguing the evidence did not prove an organized coup.
• President Donald Trump criticized the ruling as "very bad for Brazil," and Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed the U.S. "will respond accordingly" after earlier 50% tariffs and sanctions targeting Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
