He’s on trial for allegedly masterminding a coup to remain in office after he was defeated at the ballot box in 2022. The far right leader denies he tried to overthrow the country’s current president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Donald Trump’s administration has condemned the arrest calling it politically motivated and a silencing of the opposition.
