Brazil's top court suspends law that could shorten Bolsonaro's prison term. Justice Alexandre de Moraes halted the legislation pending constitutional review. Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years for attempted coup.

Brazil's Supreme Federal Court has temporarily suspended a law that could have shortened prison terms for individuals convicted in the January 8, 2023 attacks on government buildings, including former President Jair Bolsonaro. Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the suspension to review the law's constitutionality. The law was promulgated after Congress overrode a presidential veto. Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison in September 2025 for leading an attempted coup.
