Jair Bolsonaro set to be banned from public office until 2030 for abuses of power while serving as Brazilian president
Brazil’s highest electoral court formed a majority Friday to ban former President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro from running for office until 2030 on charges alleging that he abused his political power and misused public resources. Four out of seven judges have voted to find the former president guilty. Two more judges are expected to announce their decision on Friday. A simple majority is needed to reach a verdict.
According to a report from Judge Benedito Gonçalves, the former president said in the meeting with ambassadors that the results of the 2022 elections might be compromised due to fraud, that voting machines changed voters’ choices to benefit his opponent in 2018, and that the Brazilian voting machines are not auditable, and also insinuated that electoral and judicial authorities were protecting “terrorists,” all claims denied by Brazil’s electoral authorities.
