Bolsonaro enters the list of ten presidents convicted of coup in the world

The former president (PL), convicted, on Thursday (11), by the first class of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), 27 years and 3 months in prison for an attempted coup d’état, now appears in a group of ten heads of state convicted of attempted coup after the coup . The research, authored by Luciano da Ros, professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), and Manoel Gehrke, from the University of Pisa, and entitled Convicting Politicians for Corruption: The Politics of Criminal Accountability (“Condemning politicians for corruption: the Criminal Responsibility Policy”), was published in Cambridge University’s Cambridge Press.

Researchers have created the HGCC database (Heads of Government Advertised of Crimes), which gathers information on criminal convictions of heads of government worldwide. The survey has been updated for a few years from research done in each country.

The list covers the period from 1946 until January this year and considers only cases judged at home, that is, within the country itself. According to the study, 69 countries have already registered at least one conviction, totaling 128 rulers involved and 186 sentences in total. Bolsonaro is the only Brazilian on the list and was sentenced to seven other defendants. The penalties refer to five crimes, including attempted coup d’état, attempted abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law and participation in armed criminal organization.
