Brazil's Supreme Court will announce its verdict on Jair Bolsonaro's coup trial early next month. The former president, under house arrest since August 4, faces five charges including orchestrating a plot to overturn the 2022 election results. Conviction on these charges could result in a prison term of up to 12 years. Prosecutors allege Bolsonaro led a criminal organization with aims to assassinate political figures, while his defense claims no coup attempt occurred. Separate panels within the court handle these cases, with Justice Alexandre de Moraes presiding over the trial.
