Brazil’s Congress reduces Jair Bolsonaro’s 27-year prison sentence

Brazil's Congress voted to reduce former President Jair Bolsonaro's 27-year prison sentence, a decision likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court. The move could potentially upend the nation's October presidential election. The bill passed last year reduces prison terms for several crimes, including leading a coup, by counting only the highest sentence. This decision benefits not only Bolsonaro but also his supporters who were sentenced for destroying government buildings in Brasilia.
