#supreme-court-trial

The trial of Brazil's ex-President Jair Bolsonaro is already a landmark event. It's the first time in the country's history that a former president is standing trial for an attempted coup. It is also the first time since the end of the military dictatorship (1964 to 1985) that high-ranking military officials are being held to account in a civilian court. The proceedings before Brazil's Supreme Court begin on September 2, and are due to continue until September 12.
