Brazil convicts Jair Bolsonaro's son of pursuing US help in father's legal battle

[muriel_volestrangler]

The son of jailed former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been convicted by Brazil's highest court of pursuing US intervention during his father's coup trial last year.

Eduardo Bolsonaro, 41, was charged last year with lobbying US authorities to help the ex-president by imposing tariffs or sanctions on Brazil.

A former congressman in Brazil, Eduardo relocated to the US in 2025 before his father, who governed the country from January 2019 to December 2022, was found guilty of plotting a military coup and given a 27-year sentence.

Brazil's Supreme Court sentenced him in absentia to four years and two months in prison.

1. Should be deported. Under current administration policies?

2. Here's hoping he will someday face prison for this, and all his previous criminality.

His father loved being viewed as "The Trump of the Tropics."



There's a Bolsonaro son standing between Bolsonaro and Trump, next to Ivanka.

One of many visits by Jair Bolsonaro over many years at Trump's Florida base.

So glad to see this article. Thank you.

Other than trump, Bolsonaro and son, and mr. & mrs ivanka ..... But my guess is, that's a roomful of criminals.

4. The only other one I recognize is Jared. I have no doubt whatsoever you're right!

A normal person would crave a very hot bath or shower as soon as possible leaving that room.

Horrible!
