In Brazil, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes voted to convict Eduardo Bolsonaro — son of former president Jair Bolsonaro — in a case involving defamation and injury against congresswoman Tabata Amaral. The case, which has been closely watched as part of the broader legal reckoning surrounding the Bolsonaro political dynasty, could result in a prison sentence. The outcome of the full court’s deliberation remains pending, but Moraes’s vote signals the seriousness with which Brazil’s judiciary is pursuing accountability.
