Brazil's Supreme Court on Tuesday sentenced Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, to four years and two months in prison in absentia for improperly lobbying U.S. officials to pressure Brazilian authorities and interfere with legal proceedings against his father. Prosecutors argued that Eduardo threatened judicial authorities by seeking sanctions against Brazil if the coup trial did not favor his father. The ruling underscores the ongoing legal fallout from the Bolsonaro family's political activities.
