Brazil’s Supreme Court has ordered former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro to begin serving his prison sentence of 27 years and three months for orchestrating a coup plot following his election defeat.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes ruled on Tuesday that the case had reached its final judgment, confirming that no further appeals were available.

Bolsonaro, 70, was convicted of leading a conspiracy intended to keep him in power after losing the 2022 election to his left-wing opponent, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

He is set to begin serving his sentence in a federal police detention facility in Brasília, where he has been held since Saturday after being declared a flight risk and transferred from home detention.
