coup bid. Bolsonaro lost the 2022 elections and was convicted in September for his efforts to prevent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking power after the polls. Prosecutors said the scheme – which included plans to assassinate Lula and a top Supreme Court judge – failed only due to a lack of support from military top brass. A panel of Supreme Court judges weighing Bolsonaro's appeal all voted to uphold the sentence. The result was not considered official until midnight on Friday. A source at the court, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP that once the result of the hearing is published – which could take place as early as Monday — the defense will have five days to submit a new appeal. However, this appeal can be "quickly" quashed by lead judge Alexandre de Moraes, who will then publish the final judgment. "Generally, after the publication of the final judgment, the arrest warrant is issued on the same day" by the lead judge, and it is Moraes who will decide where the arrest happens, explained Thiago Bottino, a professor at the Getulio Vargas Foundation Law School.  The court source estimated that Bolsonaro could be sent to prison in the last week of November, according to court procedure timelines.
