Bolsonaro fights for freedom: 27 years in prison after coup!
Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, remains at the center of the country's political debates after he was recently sentenced to 27 years in prison. Brazil's Supreme Court has ruled that Bolsonaro must begin serving his sentence. This came just three days after the conviction for attempting a coup d'état. Bolsonaro's lawyers have asked for the verdict to be overturned and his acknowledgment filed on Friday. He is currently sitting in a police cell in Brasília and will serve his sentence there as further legal remedies are no longer possible. This information was provided by Le Figaro so reported.
Bolsonaro, who was president from 2019 to 2022, was convicted on November 14, 2025. Already in September 2022, he was convicted of leading a “criminal organization” that tried to prevent his loss of power after the electoral defeat against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. His plan to carry out attacks on Lula and a Supreme Court judge also failed because there was not enough support from high-ranking military officials. Loud France Info Judge Alexandre de Moraes ruled that Bolsonaro bore primary responsibility for the failed coup. Also noteworthy were the incidents on January 8, 2023, when his supporters stormed government buildings in Brasília, which placed additional strain on him in public perception.
A cell with all amenities
The conditions in which Bolsonaro could spend his time are surprisingly comfortable. He has a cell of around 12 square meters at his disposal, which is equipped with a single bed, a side table, a television and even air conditioning. This acceptable environment could provide at least some consolation for the former president, who has struggled with various health problems in the past, including skin cancer and lung infections daily news recently reported.
Given his health and age, Bolsonaro's lawyers are seeking that he be allowed to live under house arrest instead of prison. This request was particularly made after reports emerged of his health complications while incarcerated. The risk of an escape attempt was also raised, which is why he was first placed under house arrest and later taken into custody for attempting to tamper with the electronic ankle bracelet.
Overall, the situation surrounding Jair Bolsonaro remains tense and effective. His legal action is now set to be a constant challenge as Brazilian society witnesses the end of his political career and the possible consequences of his actions. The coming weeks could be crucial for the former president as he continues to grapple with the legal consequences of his actions.
