Brasilia (AFP) – Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, sentenced to 27 years in prison for coup plotting, leaves the DF Star hospital where he went to undergo medical treatments for skin lesions. Bolsonaro’s defense team called the sentence “incredibly excessive” and announced he would appeal, “including at the international level.” Bolsonaro did not attend the verdict hearings in the capital Brasilia, instead following the proceedings from his residence, where he is under house arrest.
