Bolsonaro’s lawyers seek to overturn his coup conviction, citing flawed procedures and insufficient evidence.

Brazilian former president Jair Bolsonaro’s legal team has requested the court annul his conviction for attempting a coup, arguing procedural flaws and lack of evidence, according to court documents filed on Friday. The case stems from Bolsonaro’s actions following his 2022 election loss, when he allegedly promoted false claims of election fraud and pressured officials to overturn results. The court has not yet ruled on the appeal.
