The former president was accused of five crimes, including an attempt to coup.

The Supreme Court in Brazil ordered the former president Gear Bolsonaro For trial on charges of attempted a coup after failing to win his re -election in 2022.

Bolsonaro, the former right -wing army commander who served as the President of Brazil from 2019 to 2022, is accused of five crimes, including an alleged attempt to violently abolish the rule of democratic law. He condemned the accusations against him as “a grave and base.”

On Wednesday, a committee of five judges unanimously decided to put Bolsonaro on trial. If the court’s actions are convicted, expected later this year, Bolsonaro may face a long prison sentence, which is isolated. He did not name a political heir.

In his opening statements, Judge Alexander de Morris, who oversees the case, examined dramatic footage of Bolsonaro supporters who burden government buildings in violent scenes that reveal just one week after the opening of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in January 2023.

Morais added that Bolsonaro led a “systematic effort to suspect electronic voting machines” used in Brazil, which is part of his efforts to undermine the elections he lost.
