<h1>Former Brazilian president faces trial for allegedly leading coup plot to overturn 2022 election results</h1> A former Brazilian president faces trial for allegedly leading a coup plot to overturn the 2022 election results. The prosecutor-general has called for conviction, presenting a 517-page document accusing the defendant of systematically inciting insurrection and destabilizing democratic rule of law. The charges include leading an armed criminal organization, attempting to stage a coup, and violent abolition of democratic rule. The defendant denies all allegations, calling the trial a 'witch hunt.' A US president imposed 50% import tariffs on Brazil, linking them to the trial and defending the former Brazilian leader. The Supreme Court panel will vote on conviction later this year, with potential sentences reaching decades in prison.
