巴西最高法院判处博索纳罗之子四年监禁 游说美国干预其父政变案Brazil Convicts Jair Bolsonaro's Son for Lobbying US to Interfere in Coup Trial
巴西联邦最高法院一致判处前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗之子、现年41岁的爱德华多·博索纳罗四年两个月监禁，原因为其在父亲因策划2022年军事政变面临审判期间，游说美国政府进行干预。由于爱德华多自2025年起一直居住在美国德克萨斯州，此次判决为缺席判决。法院同时剥夺了其竞选公职的资格，期限为八年，但他仍可对该判决提出上诉。检方指控，爱德华多通过游说美国官员对巴西实施关税或制裁，以此威胁和施压巴西司法官员，企图为父亲谋取有利的审判结果。目前，前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗因策划推翻2022年大选结果的军事政变，正在巴西服刑27年。针对这一判决，爱德华多在社交媒体上回应称，该判决“毫无根据且毫无意义”，旨在阻止其参加选举，并指责案件审理缺乏正当程序，声称自己从未收到正式诉讼送达，仅通过媒体报道得知此事。
Brazil's Supreme Court has sentenced Eduardo Bolsonaro, the 41-year-old son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, to four years and two months in prison for lobbying the United States government to interfere in his father's military coup trial. The sentence was handed down in absentia, as Eduardo has been living in Texas, US since 2025, and it includes an eight-year ban on running for public office, though he retains the right to appeal. Prosecutors charged the former lawmaker with threatening Brazilian judicial authorities by lobbying US officials to impose tariffs or sanctions on Brazil if the trial did not favor his father, whose coup trial ultimately resulted in a 27-year prison sentence for plotting to overthrow the 2022 election results. Eduardo responded to the conviction on social media, calling the ruling 'baseless and senseless' and arguing that it was designed to block him from running for office. He also alleged a lack of due process, claiming he was never formally served and only learned of the legal proceedings through media reports.
01最高法院判决与刑期Supreme Court Conviction and Sentencing
巴西联邦最高法院大法官小组一致投票通过了对爱德华多·博索纳罗的判决，判处其四年两个月监禁。由于这位41岁的前议员自2025年起便一直居住在美国德克萨斯州，因此该判决是以缺席审判的方式作出的。除了刑期之外，法院还剥夺了其在未来八年内竞选公职的资格，不过他仍保留对该判决提出上诉的权利。
A panel of Brazil's Supreme Court justices voted unanimously to convict Eduardo Bolsonaro, sentencing him to four years and two months in prison. Because the 41-year-old former lawmaker has been living in Texas, United States since 2025, the court handed down the sentence in absentia. In addition to the prison term, the ruling bars him from running for public office for a period of eight years, though he retains the right to appeal the decision.
根据最高法院的判决，爱德华多一旦返回巴西，将立即面临被逮捕的风险。司法机关认定，他在去年其父亲因策划军事政变接受审判期间，非法干预了司法程序。尽管他目前身处美国，但巴西司法机构依然作出了上述缺席判决，并明确指出其行为已经构成了对巴西国家司法公正的威胁。
With the conviction finalized, Eduardo now risks immediate arrest if he returns to Brazil. The Supreme Court determined that he illegally interfered in his father's coup trial last year. Despite his physical absence from the country, the judicial panel proceeded with the sentencing, establishing that his actions constituted an unlawful attempt to pressure and threaten the nation's judicial authorities.
02游说美国干预的具体指控Details of the US Lobbying Charges
检方的指控细节显示，爱德华多·博索纳罗在去年其父亲面临军事政变审判期间，积极游说美国政府（包括特朗普政府）对巴西施加关税和制裁。检方指出，爱德华多企图通过这种外部施压，威胁和恐吓巴西的司法官员以及其他政府部门的官员，声称如果审判结果对雅伊尔·博索纳罗不利，他将促使美国对巴西实施制裁。巴西最高法院大法官克里斯蒂亚诺·扎宁表示，爱德华多的行为并非单纯的观点表达或政治立场的宣示，而是已经构成了对巴西当局和巴西公民的明确威胁，属于非法和犯罪行为。
According to the prosecution's detailed charges, Eduardo Bolsonaro actively lobbied the United States government, including the Trump administration, to impose tariffs and sanctions on Brazil during his father's coup trial last year. Prosecutors asserted that Eduardo threatened and pressured Brazilian judicial authorities and officials from other government branches by declaring he would secure US sanctions if the legal proceedings did not yield a favorable outcome for former President Jair Bolsonaro. Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin noted that Eduardo's actions went beyond a mere expression of opinion or political stance, describing them as conduct that clearly threatened Brazilian authorities and citizens, which he characterized as illegitimate and criminal.
在爱德华多进行游说活动后，美国确实对巴西商品加征了关税，并对参与审判前总统博索纳罗的相关巴西司法官员实施了制裁。司法机关认定，爱德华多试图通过拉拢美国政府来干预巴西国内司法程序的行为，已经对巴西的国家司法体系构成了实质性的胁迫。这一系列游说活动最终被巴西最高法院判定为非法干预司法，并成为其被判处四年两个月监禁的核心依据。
Following Eduardo's lobbying efforts, the United States indeed placed tariffs on Brazilian goods and sanctioned the judicial officials involved in his father's trial. The Brazilian Supreme Court determined that Eduardo's campaign to curry American favor and pressure domestic courts amounted to unlawful coercion against the nation's justice system. These actions formed the core of the criminal case that led to his in absentia conviction and prison sentence.
03前总统博索纳罗的政变案背景Background on Jair Bolsonaro's Coup Trial
爱德华多·博索纳罗此次被判刑的起因，与其父亲、巴西前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗所涉及的严重政治案件密切相关。雅伊尔·博索纳罗曾于2019年1月至2022年12月期间担任巴西总统。在2022年大选结果公布后，他因策划军事政变企图推翻选举结果，于去年被巴西司法机关判定有罪。目前，这位前国家元首正在巴西服刑，其刑期长达27年。
The conviction of Eduardo Bolsonaro is directly tied to the severe legal troubles of his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who governed Brazil from January 2019 to December 2022. The elder Bolsonaro was found guilty of plotting a military coup to overthrow the results of the 2022 presidential election. He is currently serving a 27-year prison sentence in Brazil for his role in the conspiracy.
正是由于其父亲面临如此重大的政变指控与审判，爱德华多才在去年发起了一系列针对美国政府的游说活动，试图以此改变审判走向。在父亲最终被定罪并判处27年监禁之前，爱德华多已于2025年迁居并定居于美国德克萨斯州。巴西最高法院对爱德华多的缺席判决，也让博索纳罗家族这一在巴西右翼政治版图中仍具主导地位的家族，再次遭遇了重大的法律挫折。
It was during his father's high-stakes coup trial last year that Eduardo initiated his lobbying campaign in the United States, seeking foreign intervention to influence the outcome. Eduardo relocated to Texas in 2025, prior to the finalization of his father's conviction and 27-year sentence. The Supreme Court's ruling against Eduardo represents the latest major legal setback for the Bolsonaro family, which continues to be a dominant force on Brazil's political right.
04爱德华多·博索纳罗的辩解与回应Eduardo Bolsonaro's Response and Defense
针对巴西联邦最高法院的缺席判决，爱德华多·博索纳罗周二在社交媒体上作出了公开回应。他强烈谴责这一判决，称其“毫无根据且毫无意义”。这位41岁的前议员坚称，最高法院大法官们作出这一判决的真实意图，是为了阻止他未来参加任何政治选举。他认为，司法机关对他的指控和定罪在政治动机上存在明显的针对性，旨在剥夺其合法的参选权利。
Following the Supreme Court's ruling, Eduardo Bolsonaro took to social media on Tuesday to issue a strong response, labeling the conviction "baseless and senseless." The 41-year-old former congressman argued that the decision was politically motivated, asserting that the justices handed down the sentence with the primary intention of blocking him from running for public office in future elections.
此外，爱德华多还公开指责该案在审理过程中严重缺乏正当法律程序。他声称，自己作为被告，从未收到过巴西司法机关发出的任何正式诉讼文书或传唤送达。根据他的说法，自己完全是被排斥在诉讼程序之外，仅仅是通过新闻媒体的公开报道才得知了这起针对自己的刑事案件。他以此论证该判决在程序上存在重大瑕疵，不具备合法的正当性。
Furthermore, Eduardo alleged a severe lack of due process throughout the legal proceedings against him. He claimed that he was never formally served with any legal documents or official notifications regarding the lawsuit. According to Eduardo, he only became aware of the criminal case and the subsequent trial through media reports, arguing that the failure to notify him directly undermined the legitimacy of the court's decision.
