Zanin says that Chamber cannot suspend full action against branch

Last Thursday (24), the minister do communicated to the President of the Chamber of Deputies, that the criminal action against Deputy Alexandre Ramagem cannot be suspended in its entirety. The suspension, according to Zanin, would only apply to crimes committed after branching. He is one of the defendants in a case investigating a supposed coup conspiracy that occurred after the 2022 elections, alongside eight others, including former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Currently, the suspension request is being analyzed by the Chamber Constitution and Justice Commission. The Liberal Party (PL) filed this request to stop the process, claiming that the suspension would benefit all defendants involved in the same accusation. In the letter sent, Zanin details that the criminal action against branch could be suspended only in relation to him and only for the crimes committed after his diploma, such as qualified damage and deterioration of protected heritage.

In addition to the accusations mentioned, Ramagem faces complaints for attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law and his participation in an armed criminal organization. The severity of the accusations raises questions about the integrity of the process and the responsibility of those involved. Deputy Alfredo Gaspar, from União-AL, was designated as rapporteur of the request in the House, which may influence the progress of the case.

“The class determined to make aware of the House of Representatives, pursuant to the vote of the Minister Rapporteur, for the application of paragraph 3 of article 53 of the Federal Constitution, only in relation to the defendant Alexandre Ramagem and, specifically, by crimes committed after the diploma, namely: damage qualified by violence and serious threat, against the assets of the Union, and with considerable damage to the victim and the deterioration of the court.
