Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro is facing new legal troubles, after federal police say they’ve concluded that the right-wing politician and his allies attempted to stay in power after his failed re-election bid in 2022, via a coup attempt. Bolsonaro is already barred from running for office until 2030, the result of a previous case finding him guilty of election interference. Now this case could result in jail time. Paulo Cabral has the story from Brasilia.
