Brazil military officials sentenced for plot
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A panel of Brazilian Supreme Court justices has sentenced high-ranking military officials and a federal police officer to up to 24 years in prison for attempting a coup and plotting to kill President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Nine of the 10 defendants are high-ranking military officers. Sentences ranged from 24 years to just under two years. Those convicted will only start serving time once appeals are exhausted. This follows the September sentencing of former President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years for leading the criminal organization.
