Brazil court to rule from 2 September in Bolsonaro coup trial
Bolsonaro is accused of attempting to hold power despite his 2022 electoral defeat by Brazil's current leftist leader, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
He faces up to 40 years in prison if found guilty.
The Supreme Court statement said the ruling would be considered "during extraordinary sessions on September 2, 3, 9, 10 and 12."
Thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed government buildings in Brasilia on 8 January, 2023, a week after Lula's inauguration, alleging election fraud and calling on the military to intervene.
Bolsonaro, who led the Latin American country from 2019 to 2022, has maintained his innocence, calling any coup "abhorrent."
The prosecutor's office maintains that Bolsonaro led an "armed criminal organization" that orchestrated the coup attempt and was to be its main beneficiary.
The case file also focuses on meetings where draft decrees were allegedly presented, including those involving the possible imprisonment of officials such as Supreme Court judges.
However, the defense has stressed that "there is no way to convict" Bolsonaro based on the evidence presented in the case file, which they argued adequately demonstrated that he ordered the transition of power to Lula.
His lawyers have questioned the validity of the plea bargain handed to Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, Bolsonaro's former aide, on whose testimony many of the accusations are based.
Bolsonaro's legal wranglings are at the center of fizzing diplomatic tensions between Brazil and the United States.
President Donald Trump has called the trial a "witch hunt" and the US Treasury Department has sanctioned Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing Bolsonaro's trial, in response.
Trump has also signed an executive order slapping 50 percent tariffs on many Brazilian imports, citing Bolsonaro's "politically motivated persecution."

Putin's push for ‘patriotic' wine leaves vodka on the rocks
Russia's growing Black Sea vineyards are producing a large percentage of local wines. Image: Bloomberg Sofia Sorochinskaia For its Victory Day parade in May, Moscow welcomed world leaders with wines from southern Russia and Crimea. There's no record of what China's President Xi Jinping or his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made of the wines, but their selection wasn't accidental. In a meeting with Mikhail Razvozhayev, the governor of the biggest Crimean city, Sevastopol, President Vladimir Putin emphasized that 'only Russian wines' had been served at the event marking the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany. Wine production has jumped by a quarter since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, according to the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), an intergovernmental body that monitors global standards for wine production. Wine is a small sector of the Russian economy, but the business forms part of a broader patriotic effort employed by Putin to push for economic self-sufficiency as Moscow tries to both outwit Western sanctions and revive its economy. A worker stocks shelves in a Russian bottle store. Russian made wines are now outpacing vodka. Image: Bloomberg Production is at its highest in a decade with over a third of the Russian wine coming from the Krasnodar region on the Black Sea. Domestic consumption has also increased, reaching 8.1 million hectoliters, or more than 1 billion bottles, in 2024. In contrast, production of vodka, the drink most associated with Russia, dropped 26.3% to 760,000 hectoliters in the first two months of 2025, the lowest level in almost a decade, reported RBC, one of Russia's largest private media groups. But the growth in sales of homegrown wine is double-edged for Moscow. It also reflects the impact of sanctions which are keeping many Western wines off supermarket shelves and restaurant menus. Last year, Russia increased tariffs on wines from so-called 'unfriendly' countries - a list drawn up in 2021 that includes the US and some of Europe's top wine producers - doubling existing duties to 25%. That's pushed imported wines, which had been popular with Russians - such as Prosecco or Vinho Verde - into a more expensive price bracket, and forced consumers to turn to domestic alternatives, said Yaroslav Guryev, a 2023 finalist in Moscow's Sommelier Cup, the annual wine-tasting competition. Imports fell by half in the first quarter of 2025, RIA Novosti, Russia's state news agency, reported. Simple, one of the country's largest alcohol importers, told Bloomberg News that Russian wine now ranks second, behind only Italian, across all its domestic sales channels. 'Russian wines are now in places where they weren't before,' said Mikhail Nikolaev, head wine maker at Nikolaev & Sons, a family farm and winery in the Krasnodar region. 'Awareness is growing.' Nikolaev said the main advantage is that many Russian wines are similar in style to those from top regions like Northern Italy or France, but often at a lower cost. Government policies in recent years have also boosted awareness of domestic wine, he added. 'As for people choosing them over imports, I don't quite feel that yet.' A phenomenon of 'wine patriotism' is fueling these changes, said Denis Rudenko, a member of the Russian Sommelier Association. Some consumers now avoid wines from countries with strained relations with Russia, and others drink exclusively domestic wines as an act of political loyalty, Rudenko said. To further boost sales, the government has proposed a 'Russian Wine Shelf' quota requiring at least 20% of wines sold in retail outlets to be produced domestically. Some politicians have advocated an increase in the quota to between 30% and 40%. Putin also ordered regulatory reforms to ease land-use changes for vineyards, earlier this year.

Maduro says mobilizing millions of militia after US 'threats'
Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro on Monday said he would deploy 4.5 million militia members in response to US "threats," after Washington raised the bounty for his arrest and launched anti-drug operations in the Caribbean. "This week, I will activate a special plan with more than 4.5 million militiamen to ensure coverage of the entire national territory -- militias that are prepared, activated and armed," Maduro announced on state television. Official figures say the Venezuelan militia, founded by Maduro's predecessor Hugo Chavez, contains about 5 million people -- though the actual number is believed to be smaller. Venezuela's total population is around 30 million. Maduro lambasted "the renewal of extravagant, bizarre, and outlandish threats" from the United States. The administration of US President Donald Trump earlier this month doubled its bounty to $50 million for the arrest of Maduro, who faces drug trafficking charges. Washington, which does not recognize Maduro's past two election victories, accuses the Venezuelan of leading a cocaine trafficking gang called Cartel de los Soles. The Trump administration announced sanctions against the group and Maduro's administration last month. The US military has also reportedly deployed several vessels to the southern Caribbean, as part of Trump's crackdown on Latin American drug cartels. "We are also deployed throughout the our sea, our property, Venezuelan territory," Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said. Although he did not mention the recent US actions specifically, Maduro thanked those who expressed their support in the face of what he called "rotten refrain" of threats. Maduro called on his government's political base to move forward with the formation of peasant and worker militias "in all industries."
