US Sanctions Brazil Supreme Court Judge Over Bolsonaro Case
The US has imposed sanctions on Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, citing his role in overseeing legal investigations into former President Jair Bolsonaro's alleged attempts to overturn the 2022 election results. The sanctions mark an escalation in the US's targeting of the judge, who has been leading inquiries into Bolsonaro's efforts to challenge the election outcome. The move comes amidst ongoing tensions between the US and Brazil over the latter's democratic institutions and the handling of the post-election period. The sanctions are likely to further strain the diplomatic relations between the two countries, as the US seeks to hold accountable those it deems responsible for undermining democratic processes in Brazil.
