Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro will stand trial for allegedly conspiring to overthrow the government after he lost a 2022 election, the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday, moving swiftly in a case that could reshape the political landscape.

The opening of the case against Bolsonaro and his fascist co-conspirators, almost all members of the upper echelons of the military, is an unprecedented event in Brazilian history.

Brazil’s top court ruled that the former president will be tried over his role in a vast plot to cling to power after his 2022 election loss.
