Brazil's Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that former president Jair Bolsonaro's coup conviction was final, with no more appeals allowed, clearing the way for him to begin serving a 27-year sentence.

Bolsonaro, 70, was in September convicted of a failed coup bid and the court declared its judgment final, after rejecting an earlier challenge to the sentence.
