Description
Brazil's Supreme Court Judge Alexandre De Moraes is set to preside over ex-president Jair Bolsonaro's trial for allegedly plotting a coup attempt.
De Moraes has emerged as one of the most influential and polarizing people in Brazil. The immensely powerful judge, who previously headed the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE), is hated by the far right, which accuses him of censorship and abuse of office. To others, he is a hero on a mission to save Brazil's young democracy. SHORT PROFILE OF ALEXANDRE DE MORAES, BRAZIL'S SUPREME COURT JUDGE
