> Brazil’s Supreme Court is expected to review Jair Bolsonaro’s defense motion after the presidential vote, with a possible reversal of his 27-year conviction. The former president was sentenced over allegations that he attempted a coup and organized an armed insurrection after losing the 2022 election; his imprisonment was later changed to house arrest on health grounds. The prospect emerged as his son Flavio advanced to a runoff against incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
