This Monday (24) the ministers of the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) concluded the voting by determining that a group of 100 Bolsonaro supporters accused of involvement in the attacks of last January 8 will become defendants in court.
The voting was concluded after the votes of Ministers Nunes Marques and André Mendonça, nominated for the Supreme Court by former President Jair Bolsonaro (Liberal Party). In votes recorded in the virtual plenary on Monday night, both pointed out that the Supreme Court would not have the competence to judge 50 prisoners who were denounced by the Attorney General's Office after the coup acts
Since last Wednesday (19) there was already certainty that the accused would become defendants, since until that moment five members of the Supreme Court had already manifested themselves following the vote of the rapporteur of the case, Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
"Both are unconstitutional conducts and demonstrations that have the clear purpose of controlling or even annihilating the strength of critical thinking, indispensable to the democratic regime, as well as those that intend to destroy it, together with its republican institutions, preaching violence, arbitrariness, the disrespect to the separation of Powers and fundamental rights", argued Moraes, in the vote that was followed by most of his colleagues.
This Tuesday (25) begins the trial of a new batch of people denounced by the Attorney General's Office (PGR). Those investigated are people who would have effectively participated or who financed or were intellectual authors of the Bolsonarist barbarism on January 8.
All those investigated can answer for the crimes of attempted violent abolition of the Democratic State of Law, qualified damage, criminal association, incitement to crime and destruction of specially protected property.
