Brazil's Supreme Court has reached a majority vote to convict former President Jair Bolsonaro, with three of the five justices on the panel voting to find him guilty of attempting a coup to stay in power after losing the 2022 election.
The verdict is historic: It marks the first time a former Brazilian head of state went on trial for attempting to overthrow the government.
The 70-year-old far-right leader, who governed Brazil from 2019 to 2022, and seven alleged co-conspirators faced accusations ranging from plotting a coup, attempting to overthrow Brazil's democratic order, and participating in an armed criminal group.
Justice Cármen Lúcia's guilty vote on Thursday delivered the majority needed to convict Bolsonaro.
