The former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison after being found guilty of plotting a military coup.

A panel of five Supreme Court justices handed down the sentence just hours after they had convicted the former leader.

They ruled he was guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

    No, we needed to heal and let him run again so he could finish the job of stealing the election.

    We are still trying to heal from it. Maybe we need to give him a third term. Just rip up the constitution and use it as toilet paper (the actual one in Washington)
