  He’ll probably go to jail, since there’s a ton of evidence against him and his cronies, and most of right-leaning here won’t pick a fight with our supreme court just to bail him out.

  The real problem is: he won’t really pay for his crimes in jail. Because he’s a retired army captain, he’ll go to a military prison, just like Braga Netto (his ex minister), and while in there he’ll have access to cable TV, expensive wine and cigars, and whatnot. For context, our prisoners have a miserable life here: expired food, overpopulated cells and threats from organized crime leaders. Bolsonaro wouldn’t last a single day in a common prison here, but because of his age and military rank, there’s no scenario where this happens.

  The only one who can make him pay is the devil himself, and I really hope he pays Bolsonaro a visit soon enough
