In 2025, the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil ruled on a criminal case concerning the 2022–2023 Brazilian coup plot, which followed the election win of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva against Jair Bolsonaro. The defendants—including the former president Bolsonaro—were convicted in a 4–1 vote for participation in an armed criminal organization, attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, attempted coup d'état, qualified damage, and deterioration of protected heritage property.
