“a high-profile rival of the administration” for sure is a mouthful to avoid saying a former fascist head of state convicted because of an attempted coup, if I am not mistaken.
Fascists are spending billions of dollars worldwide to normalize their lawlessness.
To the AP’s credit, at least they do mention the coup attempt later in the article
I do think that they are fully aware many people only read headlines, or do not read past the first paragraph - which is why I think the phrasing is important and it is fucking dangerous how many media outlets misphrase headlines to normalize fascism :(

Yeah, lying on your visa application form will cause that.
