On Wednesday (7), deputies approved the complete suspension of the process, which may benefit Jair Bolsonaro by table; Judgment occurs in the virtual plenary of the first class and runs until Tuesday (13)
The Supreme Court (STF) minister voted on Friday (9) to maintain the criminal action against the Federal Deputy (PL-RJ) for three crimes related to the attempted coup d’état in 2022. Moraes vote contradicts the decision of the Chamber of Deputies, which approved, on Wednesday (7), the full suspension of the proceedings. According to the minister, the suspension approved by parliamentarians could only be valid for crimes committed by branch after his diploma in December 2022, as provided for in the Constitution.
Thus, Moraes argued that the suspension applies only to two crimes – qualified damage and deterioration of listed heritage – but maintained the progress of the process for three other most serious accusations: attempt to abolish the Democratic Rule of Law and criminal organization. “The Constitution is clear in limiting parliamentary immunity to crimes committed after diploma, and only to the deputy himself, not to the other defendants,” Moraes said in his vote. The minister stressed that the decision of the House cannot paralyze the case against the other accused, such as former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
The wide newsroom approved by the deputies could benefit Jair Bolsonaro and other defendants, trying to extend the suspension of the process to all members of the alleged coup plot, not just branch. Moraes, however, stressed that this immunity does not apply to non -parliamentary co -authors or crimes prior to diploma.
Ramagem is accused by the PGR (Attorney General of the Republic) of integrating the central nucleus of the alleged coup plot to keep Bolsonaro in power after the defeat in the 2022 elections. He is responsible for five crimes in total. The trial takes place in the Virtual Plenary of the First Class of the Supreme Court and runs until Tuesday (13). In addition to Moraes, the ministers participate in the analysis, and.
The decision of the Chamber to suspend all the criminal action was approved by 315 votes to 143, including the support of parliamentarians from parties combined with the Lula administration. However, STF ministers classified the measure as unconstitutional and reinforced that the suspension could only cover crimes committed by branch after their diploma. The vote of Moraes also determined the suspension of the limitation period of the crimes attributed to the deputy, as part of the process can only proceed after the end of his term.
