A panel of justices on Brazil’s Supreme Court on Wednesday accepted charges against former President Jair Bolsonaro over an alleged attempt to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat, and they ordered the former leader to stand trial.

No. He's been in Brazil for awhile. One year ago, he tried to hide in Hungary's embassy and spent 2 nights there.
But one of his sons is in the US after taking a leave from the lower house.

No, we have Supreme Court at home.
Supreme Court at home: nowhere near as good as the kind as you get in Brazilian restaurants

Is Bolsonaro still hiding out in Florida or did he return to Brazil?

Should also be tried for crimes against humanity (as in, axing the shit out of the Rainforest).

The difference is Brazil knows what authoritarianism looks like, and they don't want more of it.
