BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil's Supreme Court on Friday scheduled the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro for September 2, 2025, over allegations that he attempted a coup after losing the 2022 presidential election.
The trial, expected to last through September 12, will be held by a panel of five justices, with Minister Alexandre de Moraes presiding. Bolsonaro, who has been under house arrest since August, faces charges including attempted coup, membership in an armed criminal organization, and violent efforts to dismantle the democratic order. Conviction could carry a sentence of up to 43 years in prison.
