"I think he's an honest man ... This is really a political execution that they're trying to do with Bolsonaro."

"Bolsonaro will not be criminally convicted, but he will be declared ineligible."

"The guilty verdict has already been established and written. Bolsonaro does not stand a chance."

"Bolsonaro will be convicted."

Will Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro Be Found Guilty in the Coup Trial Case?

Brazil's Congress voted Thursday to override President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's veto of a bill reducing former President Jair Bolsonaro's 27-year prison sentence for plotting a coup after losing the 2022 election.

Brazil's Congress voted Thursday to override President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's veto of a bill reducing former President Jair Bolsonaro's 27-year prison sentence for plotting a coup after losing the 2022 election.

The override passed with 318 votes in the lower house and 49 in the Senate, exceeding the required thresholds of 257 and 41 respectively. Analysts say the measure could reduce Bolsonaro's sentence by roughly 20 years.

Bolsonaro, 71, began serving his sentence in November and is currently under house arrest, having been hospitalized in March with an acute form of pneumonia before being transferred to home confinement for health reasons.

The legislation also reduces sentences for supporters convicted over the Jan. 8, 2023, riots in Brasília, in which Bolsonaro backers ransacked government buildings in scenes compared to the 2021 U.S. Capitol assault.

The veto override came one day after the Senate rejected Lula's Supreme Court nominee, Jorge Messias — the first time in more than 130 years that a presidential court appointee had been turned down by the Senate.

The congressional defeats come months before Brazil's October presidential election, in which Lula is expected to face Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son, with polls showing the two candidates virtually tied.
