Bolsonaro accused of military coup, placed under house arrest

The life of Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro has changed drastically. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to Reuters agency, the country's Supreme Court found him guilty of organizing a military coup after the 2022 presidential election. Four out of five members of the court panel considered the 70-year-old former leader to be involved in the crime.

According to the information, after Bolsonaro lost the election to the current president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, he led illegal actions to retain power. Despite the lack of full support from the military forces, on January 8, 2023, his supporters staged an assault on government institutions.

This caused major disorder and fear in the country. Currently, the former president is being held under house arrest and denies his guilt.

His legal defenders plan to file an appeal to review the court's decision. This process is causing widespread discussions among the public and international observers.

This event in Brazil's political life is regarded as an important signal for ensuring the rule of law and preventing military intervention in the country. This situation serves to strengthen political stability and the principles of legality.
