Bolsonaro's legal team filed a motion with Brazil's Supreme Court Chief Justice Edson Fachin on Friday, seeking to annul the former president's conviction for an attempted coup d'état — a significant but expected legal maneuver following the verdict.

Lawyers for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro filed a criminal review petition at the Supreme Court seeking to annul his conviction of 27 years and three months in prison for crimes including leading a coup attempt, arguing judicial error, improper panel composition, and insufficient evidence of his direct involvement in the January 8, 2023 attacks.
