- A five-member panel of Brazil's Supreme Court formed a majority on Thursday to convict former President Jair Bolsonaro of being part of an armed criminal organization.

Justice Carmen Lucia voted to convict Bolsonaro on Thursday, siding with justices Alexandre de Moraes and Flavio Dino, in the trial over an alleged coup plot. Justice Luiz Fux was the only one dissenting so far, voting to acquit the former president.

Carmen Lucia had still to vote on other charges faced by Bolsonaro, including coup attempt and seeking to violently abolish the democratic rule.
