Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro received a sentence of 27 years and three months in prison for charges related to an alleged attempt to stage a coup, without being present in the courtroom during the conviction. Despite his absence, Bolsonaro’s influence in Brazilian politics could continue, as he is currently under house arrest and dealing with health issues. His loyal supporters may still rally behind him, keeping his political agenda alive and potentially influencing future political decisions. The sentence imposed on Bolsonaro does not automatically disqualify him from participating in political activities, leaving room for his continued influence.
