BRASILIA, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Luiz Fux called on Wednesday for the annulment of the case against former President Jair Bolsonaro's due to what he called an "absolute lack of jurisdiction" for the five-judge panel hearing the case.

The high court still seems likely to convict Bolsonaro of plotting a coup to remain in power after he was voted out of office in 2022. Two judges have already voted to convict and the remaining two were appointed by leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who defeated Bolsonaro in the 2022 election.
