Bolsonaro - in power in 2019-22 - is accused of plotting a coup to prevent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office in 2023. He denies any wrongdoing.

US President Donald Trump has been attempting to quash the case against his ally, which he calls a "witch hunt", by threatening steep tariffs on Brazilian goods. On Friday, the US revoked visas for Brazilian judicial officials involved in the case.
