Brazil now joins South Korea (1996), Peru (2009), Uruguay (2010), and Bolivia (2022) in proving the rule of law can reach ex-presidents who trample their constitutions. One major democracy still wont test that principle...
poll from 2024 shows that 47% believe that Brazil is “under a judicial dictatorship”
Brazil showing us how it's done. parabéns, brasil!

More relevant than Bolsonaro conviction, it's that the generals that were involved in the coup plot, were also convicted.

This is the first time that a General get arrested. Brazil had several coups in his history, they never got arrested.

The last general that got arrested in Brazil, got arrested for... trying to prevent a coup. Henrique Teixeira Lott.
