“Brazil’s lower house of Congress approved a bill early Wednesday that could drastically reduce the sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who has been serving 27 years in jail for staging a coup. If ratified by the Senate, the 70-year-old far-right leader, who has been behind bars since late November, could see his sentence cut to just over two years. Chaotic scenes erupted in Congress Tuesday as a lawmaker disrupted the lower house efforts to vote. Bolsonaro’s defense team meanwhile has asked the Supreme Court to authorise his release for a surgical procedure due to his deteriorating health, according to documents obtained by AFP.” (12/10/25)
