The funny thing is that the person who approved the law increasing the prison time for that crime was... Bolsonaro.

Can't Bolsonaro just catch COVID for the 90th time and die in prison already?

He's been senteced to 27 years of jailtime. I want him to live a long, long life... behind bars.

Some Brazilian could clarify here, this means the law was approved in both chambers?

Yes. But before becoming law the president must sign it off. He vetoe'd it.

But the veto can still be overturned by Congress.

Ah, just like here in Argentina... our constitutions were made just for the drama apparently.
