He also faces probes for alleged involvement in a jewelry smuggling scheme and an uprising to restore him to power. Bolsonaro's controversial handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including dismissing vaccines and flouting health restrictions, may have caught up with him first. Despite retaining strong political support, he faces potential legal challenges and has been ruled ineligible to run for office until 2030.
