A lawyer for Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro said Tuesday he would file an appeal against his conviction, even though the top court ruled that all challenges had been exhausted.
Defense attorney Paulo Cunha Bueno said it was “surprising” that the court ruled Bolsonaro’s coup conviction final and ordered him to start serving his 27-year sentence, “while a potentially admissible appeal has not yet been filed.”
“In any case, the defense will submit, within the timeframe established by the Court’s regulations, the appeal it deems appropriate,” he wrote on X.
