Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro have held huge street protests. Bolsonaro is facing legal charges, accused of plotting a coup after his election loss in 2022. He could face up to 40 years in prison, but he's had a powerful ally in US President Donald Trump, who's called for the charges to be thrown out. He's even imposed 50 percent tariffs on Brazilian goods - a move he's said is directly related to Bolsonaro's legal case. Al Jazeera’s Monica Yanakiev reports from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
