Brazil Congress overturns Lula veto on Bolsonaro sentence reduction

Brazil's Congress has overturned a veto by President Lula da Silva on a bill that could shorten former president Jair Bolsonaro's prison sentence. The bill, which had already been passed by Congress, could change key calculations used to determine prison terms, potentially affecting how long Bolsonaro remains in custody. The new rules apply to convictions linked to the riots of January 8, 2023, and could shorten Bolsonaro's sentence by several years.
