STORYLINE:
Supporters of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro gathered on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo Sunday in a show of support as the far-right leader faces mounting legal troubles.
His supporters waved Brazilian flags and chanted slogans attacking the Supreme Court, criticizing the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and defending Bolsonaro, who remains the central figure for Brazil’s conservative movement.
"I want to tell you: it doesn’t matter where I am, or how cowardly they treat me. I am sure that the ultimate goal is not to arrest me, but to eliminate me," Bolsonaro told his supporters.
Bolsonaro and 33 allies are facing trial over an alleged plot to overturn the 2022 presidential election results and remain in power.
They were charged with five counts related to the plan.
The former president has denied the allegations and claims that he’s the target of political persecution.
He could face up to 12 years in prison if convicted.
“Bolsonaro, come back!” protesters chanted, but the former president is barred from running for office until 2030.
Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court ruled last year that he abused his political power and made baseless claims about the country’s electronic voting system.
