Bolsonaro is the first former brazilian president to be convicted of such charges and has been banned from running for political office until 2030. The verdict sparked reactions from international figures: former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed surprise at the conviction and defended Bolsonaro, while U.S. Senator Marco Rubio criticized the prosecution as a &#8220;witch hunt.&#8221; Bolsonaro&#8217;s family and supporters remain adamant that the conviction is politically motivated. Bolsonaro is expected to appeal the ruling within the required timeframe. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Former Brazilian President Bolsonaro sentenced to over 27 years in prison for coup attempt<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2227362\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former Brazilian President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jair-bolsonaro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jair Bolsonaro<\/a> has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison for his alleged 2022 coup attempt following the country&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">presidential <\/a>election.<\/p>\n<p>A panel of Brazilian Supreme Court justices handed down Bolsonaro&rsquo;s sentence after convicting him of the attempted coup.
