BRAZIL-POLITICS-JUSTICE-TRIAL

The president of Brazil's Federal Supreme Court (STF) minister Cristiano Zanin speaks next to (L to R) ministers Alexandre de Moraes, Carmen Lucia, Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, and ministers Luiz Fux, and Flavio Dino during the voting session to convict or acquit far-right former president (2019-2022) Jair Bolsonaro in a coup trial, at the STF in Brasilia on September 9, 2025. Brazil's Supreme Court begins voting in a trial that has prompted mass protests by his fervent base and punitive backlash from his US ally, Donald Trump. Bolsonaro, 70, risks a prison term of over 40 years if found guilty of seeking to claw back power after his defeat in the 2022 election by leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, now in office.
