Description
"I expect him [Jair Bolsonaro] to go to prison," says 20-year-old student and Sao Paulo resident, Joao Victor, as a reaction to the court's decision for Brazil's former president to stand trial for attempting a coup after failing to win re-election in 2022. However, even with the news of the trial, Victor is not certain Brazil's justice system will be able to keep Bolsonaro in jail if found guilty: "a month later he will be out [of prison] again," he says.
The trial will be the first of an ex-leader accused of attempting to take power by force since Brazil's return to democracy in 1985 after two decades of military dictatorship.
A five-judge panel of the Supreme Court voted unanimously to put Bolsonaro on trial. He was not in court for the ruling, but in comments to reporters after the announcement slammed the allegations as "unfounded." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
