Bolsonaro is not alone; find out who the other two former presidents were who became ineligible

Fernando Collor de Mello (PTB) and the current president Squid (PT) were ineligible.

Elected in 1989, color was accused of criminal responsibility and common crime, for being involved in a corruption scheme with former treasurer Paulo César Farias, the PC Farias.

Congress opened impeachment proceedings in 1992, and Collor resigned from office to maintain his political rights, but the Senate voted to make him ineligible for eight years.

The current president Squid was the target of Operation Lava Jet and, in 2017, he was convicted of the crimes of passive corruption and money laundering in the Guarujá triplex case. Lula was sentenced in the first instance to nine years and six months in prison. In the second instance, the sentence increased to 12 years and one month. Based on the Clean Record Law, the TSE considered Lula ineligible and he did not run in the 2018 elections.

Lula became eligible again after the TSE understood that the Federal Court of Curitiba did not have the competence to judge a former president. The convictions against the, until then, former president, were overturned.
