RIO DE JANEIRO - Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's legal jeopardy has mounted since he narrowly lost last year's presidential election to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, barring him from upcoming elections and raising the prospect of jail time.
Bolsonaro has repeatedly denied breaking any laws, and calls allegations against him a witch hunt by his political opponents.In June, Brazil's federal electoral court barred Bolsonaro from public office until 2030 for his conduct during last year's election. Five out of seven justices voted to convict him of abuse of power and misuse of the media when, in July 2022, he summoned ambassadors to vent unfounded claims of vulnerabilities in Brazil's electronic voting system.
