00:00Let's move on to other informations.
00:03Former Brazilian President Haid Bolsonaro was sentenced yesterday to 27 years and three
00:08months for leading a failed military coup.
00:10However, he's not going to jail just yet.
00:13Our correspondent Brian Mir explains.
00:15So everyone's wondering now what happens next?
00:18Is Bolsonaro going to be arrested today?
00:20Where are they going to take him?
00:22Well first of all, there's a period of five days that's just started in which the lawyers
00:27of the defense can submit motions for clarification and motions for review.
00:33Motions for clarification involve parts of the decision that they feel are murky.
00:39For example, if the numbers don't add up between the sentences for the different crimes and
00:43the final sentence for a defendant, they can ask for clarification.
00:47This can result in lowering some sentences, altering the fines and things like that.
00:54And they have five days to submit those.
00:56The second kind of motion is called a motion for review.
01:00This would have more power in some cases even allowing the ruling to be kicked up to the
01:06full plenary session of the Supreme Court, which has 11 members.
01:10But it doesn't look like they have the right to submit these motions because they have to
01:14be based on dissenting opinions.
01:17And for that to happen, they need to have more than one.
01:20There was only one justice who voted for acquittal, Minister Luis Fux.
01:24That doesn't provide enough basis for motions for review.
01:28So after the court receives the motions, they'll deliberate on them.
01:33They'll issue their final response.
01:36And then they have a period of 60 days to publish the terms and conditions of the arrests.
01:42Now, normally, this happens a lot faster than 60 days.
01:46The last time there was a big high-profile case, it took them about 15 days to issue the
01:51terms and conditions.
01:52So basically, this means it's going to be a few weeks and up to maybe two months before
01:58anyone goes behind bars.
02:00In the case of former president Jair Bolsonaro, they're talking about taking him to a room
02:05in the federal police headquarters, which is the same situation that former president Lula
02:10found himself in when he was arrested on false pretenses in 2018.
02:16Right now.
02:17So please do have a�� to your office.
02:37So you'll have an backlog.
