Centrão leaders are reserved, that the House may vote in favor of suspension of criminal prosecution (PL-RJ) for participation in the 2022 coup plot, freeing him from at least part of the accusation.
Ramagem became a defendant for the Federal Supreme Court on charges of integrating, as well as the former president (PL), the central core of a criminal organization that tried to give a coup after Lula’s (PT) victory in the 2022 presidential elections.
As a parliamentary branch, graduated in December 2022, the Court notified the Congress after receiving the complaint. The Constitution provides that the House may suspend criminal proceedings against parliamentary for crimes committed after diploma. The decision, however, needs to be made by the house plenary within 45 days after notification.
In the evaluation of these leaders, there is justification to suspend action against the deputy. It must also reign the spirit of body, they say.
Bolsonaro’s allies also believed that a possible setback against the Supreme could impact the progress of the lawsuit against the former president. This perception ended up being set aside throughout the week, as there is no legal provision to suspend the action against all defendants.
The case has not yet been discussed in a depth in the house, but some argue that if it is given speed to the branch process, the PL may decrease pressure on other parliamentarians by the amnesty proposal to prisoners in the scammers of January 8.
Left leaders, in turn, reject the possibility of branching to get rid of the process. They say he has no good dialogue in the house and that the deputies fear to break down with the STF.
Ramagem has been with the mayor, (-PB), to discuss the case. The PL leader, (RJ), said after a meeting of leaders on Thursday (3) that Motta has already sent the case to the Constitution and Justice Commission. After analysis of the board, it will be up to the plenary to support it by simple majority (257 votes).
The PL filed a request on Tuesday (1st) to suspend the criminal action against branch.
The first class of the Supreme received the complaint against branch, Bolsonaro and six others accused of joining the central core of the coup plot on March 26. The lawsuit against the defendants, however, has not yet been opened.
Minister Alexandre de Moraes awaits the publication of the judgment of the trial. This procedure can take up to 60 days, according to the Supreme Rules of Procedure-in the backstage of the Court, it is expected to be an outcome by the first half of May.
Two STF ministers heard by Sheet They stated that a possible decision of the favorable chamber will not free it from the entire accusation. This is because the complaint against the deputy is based on acts committed by him before being elected to the legislature, and the analysis of the house is restricted to the alleged crimes made after the diploma.
“Considering that the defendant Alexandre Ramagem today holds the position of and that part of the crimes imputed to him after his diploma, […] It should be officiated to only in relation to these crimes committed after diploma, “Moraes said at the end of his vote in the trial of the coup plot.
Ramagem is defendant for five crimes: attempt to abolish the Democratic Rule of Law, coup, armed criminal organization, damage qualified to public assets and deterioration of listed assets.
One of these ministers stressed that there is no clarity on which crimes are imputed to branch before and after diploma. The tendency is for a favorable decision of the House to dismiss only the crimes against public assets for the attacks of 8 January, which have smaller penalties.
The Supreme Ministers also reject that the House may undermine the progress of the process regarding the others accused by the coup plot.
This week, Motta held the pressure of Bolsonarist deputies to guide the amnesty project.
His allied party leaders share the understanding that it is not the political time to discuss it, although they have a favorable majority in their benches to the proposal. They say it is necessary to support the president of the house and share this pressure with him.
And, above all, they do not agree with the analysis of the proposal made directly in plenary, via urgency request.
Given this, the signatures for the request were collected by the retail, deputy by deputy. If the leaders signed, they would already be representing their benches, and the process would be more agile.
The president of,, went to the Whatsapp group of the bench on Friday (4) to ask the deputies to sign the document. According to Sostenes, so far there are 173 of the necessary 257 signatures.
