Brazil's congress overturns Lula's veto on a bill reducing Bolsonaro's coup conviction sentence
Brazil's congress voted to overturn President Lula's veto of a bill that would reduce former president Jair Bolsonaro's prison sentence from 27 years and three months to 22 years and one month following his 2023 coup conviction. The lower house voted 318-257 and the senate voted 49-41 to override the veto, surpassing the required supermajorities. If confirmed by the supreme court, the reduction would lower Bolsonaro's time in closed-regime imprisonment from an estimated four to six years to two to four years, potentially allowing him to enter an open regime by 2028.
