Understand accusations against Bolsonaro in the case of the coup plot


Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) was reported to the Supreme Court (Supreme Court) by the Attorney General, Paulo Gonet, on charges of leading an attempted coup d’état after losing 2022 elections


The PGR (Attorney General of the Republic) accuses Bolsonaro of crimes such as:
Coup d’état, of damage qualified by violence and serious threat against the union’s assets
DECLARED OF HERITAGE
Participation in a criminal organization

Attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law

Added, the maximum penalties reach 43 years in prison, not to mention the aggravating and the possibility of their ineligibility lasting longer than the eight years for which he was convicted by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court)


According to PF investigations, Bolsonaro was involved in plans discussed at the Alvorada Palace at the end of 2022 to nullify the outcome of presidential elections, alleging fraud at the electronic ballot box


In addition to Bolsonaro, 33 other people were reported, including the former minister Walter Braga Nettocandidate for vice president on the 2022 plate, and former Bolsonaro orders Mauro Cid


Other names that appear among the accused are the two former ministers Augusto Heleno (Institutional Security Office), Anderson Torres (Justice) and former Navy Commander Almir Garnier Santo


The complaint states that Bolsonaro adopted a break of rupture of institutional normality from 2021, with pronouncements against the decisions of higher courts and the electronic ballot boxes


This climb, says PGR, “gained more notable boost” when Lula (PT) became eligible again after the cancellations of his criminal convictions


One of the ideas presented was that of Bolsonaro violating and disobeying STF decisions. There was even the creation of a Bolsonaro contingency and escape plan, if the attitude was not tolerated by the military


Bolsonaro’s lines are mentioned with part of this plan on the 7th March marches, mentions made in live broadcasts and ministerial meeting with attacks without evidence on July 2022


According to the PGR, during the second round of the 2022 elections, “the organization again put into practice its plan to extend the leader’s permanence in power”


The play states that, unlawfully, they mapped regions where Lula had more votes and called the Federal Highway Police to perform operations in these places, making it difficult to access voters to voting places


After the elections, the PGR also says that “Minuts of acts of formalization of the breach of the constitutional order were designed,” the so -called minutes of the coup


It is up to the Supreme Court to evaluate whether to accept the PGR complaint and transform the defendants into defendants. If the complaint is accepted, the process will run in the Supreme under the rapporteur of Alexandre de Moraes


In addition to the coup plot, Bolsonaro was indicted in 2023 by the Federal Police in two other inquiries: the case of jewelry received during the government and the falsification of certificates of vaccines against Covid-19
