Brazil's Bolsonaro Barred from Office for 8 Years Over Election-Fraud Claims
TL;DR Summary
Brazil's highest electoral court has barred former President Jair Bolsonaro from running for political office until 2030, finding him guilty of abusing his power and misusing public media during the 2022 election campaign. The court's decision effectively ends any hope of a political comeback for Bolsonaro in the forthcoming 2026 election. The case stemmed from a meeting where Bolsonaro spread false information about Brazil's electoral system, and YouTube took down the livestream of the event for violating its fake news policy. Bolsonaro plans to appeal the court's decision.
