US treasury imposes sanctions on Alexandre de Moraes, presiding over Bolsonaro alleged coup plot trial

Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro, has lobbied US officials to sanction the Supreme Court judge investigating an alleged coup plot following Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's 2022 win. US President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind the former head of state, threatening to level heavy tariffs on Brazil. The US-based Eduardo now stands accused by the Supreme Court president of having incited "hostile acts" against the South American country.

Brazil's chief prosecutor has called on the country's Supreme Court to find former president Jair Bolsonaro guilty of conspiring to stage a coup following the 2022 election, which was won by his left-wing rival, the current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The call came during closing arguments in a trial that included an attempt by US President Donald Trump to intervene in support of his right-wing ally.
