The United States has announced sanctions targeting the wife of a Brazilian justice official following the sentencing of Jair Bolsonaro, a prominent political ally of Donald Trump. These sanctions will effectively revoke the visas of six US officials, including diplomats and legal professionals. The decision follows Bolsonaro’s conviction on charges related to alleged interference in Brazil’s electoral process. US authorities are citing the legal proceedings as a demonstration of its commitment to upholding international law and ensuring accountability for criminal conduct. The sanctions are a direct response to the Brazilian justice system’s handling of the case.
