SAO PAULO — Police indicted Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others for allegedly attempting a coup to keep the right-wing leader in office after his defeat in the 2022 election. Already barred from running again in 2026 for a different case, he could now land in jail and see his influence further diminished. Brazil’s federal police said the sealed findings in Thursday’s indictment were being delivered to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which will refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, who will decide whether to formally charge Bolsonaro and put him on trial, or toss the investigation. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Gonet is already under pressure from his legal peers to move forward with the various investigations related to the ex-President, local media have reported.

Colorado homes for sale are at their highest levels in over a decade. According to the October Market Trends Housing Report from the Colorado Association of Realtors, with 3.5 months’ supply in the seven-county Denver metro area, active home listings are up 14% year-over-year. Statewide, with 3.8 months’ supply, active listings are up nearly 17%. “While Denver has consistently been characterized as a seller’s market throughout recent years, current trends indicate a moderate shift toward a buyer’s market this winter season,” said Cooper Thayer, a broker associate with the Thayer Group in Castle Rock. Despite the increased inventory, prices remain near record highs, with the median price for single-family homes at $583,000 and condos/townhomes at $425,000. The percentage of list price received continues to hover around 98% statewide. With more homes available, Thayer encourages sellers to highlight features that set their properties apart in their listings. “Today’s homebuyers have much more time to make decisions and negotiate and are spending a higher percentage of their income on housing costs, driving them to be much more cost-conscious,” he said. “The most successful listings today are those that are more unique and/or put in more preparation work than comparable properties on the market.
