The criminal organization was active between July 2021 and January 2023, de Moraes said at the beginning of proceedings Tuesday. He said the group’s practices comprised of “a series of malicious acts aimed at abolishing the democratic rule of law and deposing the legitimately elected government.” On Tuesday afternoon, justices voted on a series of issues raised by lawyers. Bolsonaro’s defence team had been pushing for the case to be sent to the full Supreme Court, where two of the 11 justices were appointed by the former president. A majority voted against.Bolsonaro was present at the Supreme Court on Tuesday. Speaking earlier in the morning to journalists at Brasilia’s airport, Bolsonaro again denied the accusations.
Gonet filed charges against a total of 34 people in February. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will analyze whether to accept charges against eight of them. As well as Bolsonaro, the court will vote on the accusations faced by former Defense Ministers Walter Braga Netto and Paulo Sérgio Nogueira and ex-Justice Minister Anderson Torres, among others. The court will decide on the others’ fates later on.
Bolsonaro called on social media Sunday for a new demonstration on April 6, to be held on one of São Paulo’s main arteries, Avenida Paulista.
