Brazil\u2019s Supreme Court has ordered former president Jair Bolsonaro to begin serving a 27-year prison sentence for allegedly plotting a coup after losing the last election. The ruling, issued by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, confirms that the case has reached its final judgment, leaving no room for further appeals.<\/p>\n

\n

Brazil’s Supreme Court has ordered that right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro begin serving his prison sentence of 27 years and three months for plotting a coup after he lost the last election.<\/p>\n

Justice Alexandre de Moraes on Tuesday ruled that the case had reached its final judgement and that no further appeals were possible.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro, 70, was found guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva.<\/p>\n

He will begin serving his sentence in a federal police jail cell in the capital, Brasilia, where he has been detained since Saturday after being deemed a flight risk and removed from home detention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At a hearing on Sunday, Bolsonaro admitted trying to open his ankle monitor with a soldering iron until he “came to his senses”, court documents show.<\/p>\n

He said he had had no intention of fleeing and blamed medicine-induced “paranoia” for damage he caused to the monitor.<\/p>\n

Justice Moraes on Tuesday mandated that full-time medical care be given to Bolsonaro, whose medical team has previously said he is suffering from worsening health.<\/a><\/p>\n

Supreme Court justices said in September, when Bolsonaro was found guilty of plotting a coup, that he had known of plans to assassinate Lula and his vice-presidential running mate, Geraldo Alckmin, and to arrest and execute Moraes, who has been overseeing Bolsonaro’s trial.<\/p>\n

The conspiracy failed to get the backing of the army and air force commanders. Lula was sworn in without incident on 1 January 2023.<\/p>\n

But a week later, on 8 January, thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed government buildings in Bras\u00edlia. The security forces intervened and about 1,500 people were arrested.<\/p>\n

The justices found that the rioters had been incited by Bolsonaro, whose plan, they said, was for the military to step in and return him to power.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro was also barred from running for public office until 2060 – eight years after the end of his sentence.<\/p>\n

The former president called the trial a “witch hunt” designed to prevent him running in the 2026 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Justice Moraes also ordered on Tuesday that others found guilty of being Bolsonaro’s co-conspirators must begin their sentences.<\/p>\n

They include Gen Augusto Heleno, former minister for institutional security, and Gen Paulo S\u00e9rgio Nogueira de Oliveira, former defense minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
