- Deterioration of listed assets.
If condemned, a. So Bolsonaro, who is 70, argues that he will “die in jail.”
“I’m 70 years old already, I almost died in the last surgery, I’m going to die, it won’t be long. We are being an arc that can be resisted. … I have forty years in the loin, I have no appeal to anywhere, I’m going to die in jail.”
