L’ex-président brésilien Jair Bolsonaro a été admis mardi dans un hôpital de Brasilia après un «malaise», quelques jours après sa condamnation à 27 ans de prison pour tentative de coup d’Etat, a annoncé son fils aîné sur le réseau social X. Assigné à résidence depuis début août, l’ancien dirigeant d’extrême droite (2019-2022) «a ressenti un malaise, avec une forte crise de hoquet, des vomissements et une chute de pression», a expliqué le sénateur Flavio Bolsonaro. Jair Bolsonaro, 70 ans, s’est rendu à l’hôpital «sous escorte de policiers qui surveillent sa résidence, car il s’agit d’une urgence», a-t-il ajouté. » | Par Maxime Dubernet de Boscq | mardi 16 septembre 2025

Bolsonaro Sentenced to 27 Years for Brazil's Political Coup, Replicating January 6 Insurrection
Sep 13, 2025 | Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison hours after being convicted of plotting a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 election, dealing a powerful rebuke to one of the world's most prominent far-right nationalist leaders.
The conviction ruling by a panel of five justices on Brazil's Supreme Court, who also agreed on the sentence, made the 70-year-old Bolsonaro the first former president in the country's history to be convicted for attacking democracy, and drew disapproval from the Trump administration.

Bolsonaro Supporters Flood Streets Ahead of His Expected Conviction
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Tensions are heating up in Brazil as the nation enters the final week of former President Jair Bolsonaro’s trial on attempted coup charges.
Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets on the nation’s Independence Day on Sunday in dueling political protests, opening a tense week that is expected to conclude with the conviction of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The largely peaceful demonstrations played out in cities across the nation.
On the right, Brazilians draped in Brazilian and American flags protested the criminal prosecution of Mr. Bolsonaro on charges that he attempted to hold on to power after losing the 2022 election. On the left, people called for Mr. Bolsonaro’s imprisonment and denounced efforts by President Trump to protect the former leader.
By Sunday afternoon, aerial images from multiple protests left little question that Mr. Bolsonaro’s supporters significantly outnumbered protesters on the left, showing that — even amid his legal troubles — he remains a significant political force in Brazil.
But will it matter?
On Friday, Brazil’s Supreme Court is widely expected to convict Mr. Bolsonaro on charges that he attempted a coup. He could face more than 40 years in prison. » | Jack Nicas and Ana Ionova | Reporting from Rio de Janeiro and Brasília | Sunday, September 7, 2025

Brazil Judge Orders Round-the-clock Surveillance of ‘Flight Risk’ Bolsonaro
THE GUARDIAN: Pre-trial monitoring ordered after police reported former president had drafted request for asylum in Argentina
Jair Bolsonaro must be under constant police surveillance, a supreme court justice has ruled, to prevent Brazil’s former president from fleeing days before the start of the trial that could see him jailed for more than 40 years.
The far-right leader has been wearing an electronic ankle tag since mid-July and has been under house arrest since early August. But last Monday, the prosecutor general asked the supreme court to tighten surveillance of the 70-year-old, after federal police reported he had even drafted a request for political asylum in Argentina.
In Tuesday’s ruling, Justice Alexandre de Moraes agreed there was a “risk of flight” and ordered police to monitor Bolsonaro’s Brasília mansion 24 hours a day. » | Tiago Rogero in Rio de Janeiro | Wednesday, August 27, 2025

Jair Bolsonaro Planned to Seek Asylum in Argentina, Brazil’s Police Say
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The police said they found a request for asylum, addressed to Argentina’s leader, on the phone of the Brazilian ex-president, who is accused of plotting a coup.
Jair Bolsonaro, the former Brazilian president accused of plotting a coup, made plans to seek political asylum in Argentina last year, Brazil’s federal police said on Wednesday, citing a document seized from his mobile phone.
The police said they had recovered a 33-page draft asylum request from the phone that was addressed to President Javier Milei of Argentina, a fellow right-wing leader. The document said that Mr. Bolsonaro was suffering political persecution in Brazil, that he expected to be illegally imprisoned and that he feared for his life.
The asylum request was not dated, but the police said it was saved on Mr. Bolsonaro’s phone in February 2024, two days after they carried out a sweeping operation that targeted the former president and about two dozen of his political allies. The police confiscated Mr. Bolsonaro’s passport, arrested some of his top aides and searched their homes and offices during that operation. Days later, Mr. Bolsonaro spent two nights at the Hungarian Embassy in Brazil in an apparent bid for asylum aimed at another right-wing ally, Prime Minister Viktor Orban, reporting by The New York Times revealed. In an interview earlier this year, Mr. Bolsonaro refused to explain why he had slept at the embassy. » | Ana Ionova | Reporting from Rio de Janeiro | Wednesday, August 20, 2025

Brazil: Bolsonaro under House Arrest, Escalating Tensions with Trump

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.

Trump Escalates Fight With Brazil, Taking Aim at Its Economy and Politics
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The White House hit Brazil on Wednesday with a 50 percent tariff and sanctions on a justice overseeing investigations into former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The United States on Wednesday made good on its threats to apply 50 percent tariffs on Brazil two days ahead of schedule and slapped sanctions on the Supreme Court justice overseeing the criminal case against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The dual measures showed that, just as Brazilian officials sought dialogue, the White House sharply escalated the growing diplomatic crisis between the Western Hemisphere’s two most populous nations.
The tariffs against Brazil are the highest of any levy President Trump has imposed this year, though they exclude many of Brazil’s key exports to the United States, like commercial aircrafts, energy products and orange juice.
The actions against Alexandre de Moraes, a Brazilian Supreme Court justice, are a highly unusual use of some of the gravest human rights sanctions the U.S. government has at its disposal. » | Ana Ionova and Jack Nicas | Ana Ionova reported from Brasília, and Jack Nicas from Rio de Janeiro. | Wednesdaay, July 30, 2025

Brazil’s President to Trump: ‘I Want to Be Treated With Respect’
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Faced with threats of 50 percent tariffs and demands to end a criminal case, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said he wouldn’t take orders from President Trump.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil is outraged.
President Trump is trying to push around his nation of 200 million, dangling 50 percent tariffs as a threat, Mr. Lula said in an interview. And yet, he added, the U.S. president is ignoring his government’s offers to talk.
“Be sure that we are treating this with the utmost seriousness. But seriousness does not require subservience,” the Brazilian president said. “I treat everyone with great respect. But I want to be treated with respect.”
Mr. Lula granted his first interview to The New York Times in 13 years on Tuesday, in part because he wanted to speak to the American people about his frustration with Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump has said that, starting on Friday, he plans to impose 50 percent tariffs on Brazilian goods, in large part because Brazilian authorities have charged former President Jair Bolsonaro with trying to hold on to power after losing the 2022 election.
Mr. Trump has called the case a “witch hunt” and wants it dropped. Mr. Lula said that was not up for negotiation. “Maybe he doesn’t know that here in Brazil, the judiciary is independent,” he said.
In the interview, Mr. Lula said that the American president is infringing on Brazil’s sovereignty. » | Jack Nicas | Photographs by Victor Moriyama | Jack Nicas interviewed President Lula of Brazil in the nation’s capital, Brasília.| Wednesday, July 30, 2025

Bolsonaro Ordered to Wear Ankle Monitor, Escalating Brazil’s Feud With Trump
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered Jair Bolsonaro, the former president, to stay home most hours, defying President Trump’s demands that charges against Mr. Bolsonaro be dropped.
Brazil’s Supreme Court on Friday ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to wear an ankle monitor, stay home during most hours and stay away from foreign embassies, a sign that the court believed he is liable to flee the country before his trial on charges that he attempted a coup after losing the 2022 election.
Brazilian federal police searched Mr. Bolsonaro’s residence and home on Friday morning, carrying out orders from the Supreme Court, according to two people familiar with the searches who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the operation. Brazilian media showed Mr. Bolsonaro arriving to a government facility on Friday morning to have an ankle monitor fitted on him.
Mr. Bolsonaro’s lawyer, Paulo Cunha Bueno, confirmed that the court ordered Mr. Bolsonaro to use an ankle monitor and barred him from using social media or communicating with his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who has been in Washington lobbying the Trump administration to intervene in his father’s case.
“Former President Jair Bolsonaro’s defense team was surprised and outraged by the imposition of severe precautionary measures against him, despite having complied with all court orders to date,” his lawyers said in a statement. » | Jack Nicas and Ana Ionova | Reporting from Rio de Janeiro | Friday, July 18, 2025
