Brazilian institutions have always treated as a prodigal son. For over 30 years, the Superior Military Court, A, the Federal Supreme Court and the Attorney General’s Office functioned as houses of tolerance to political delinquency. The leniency extended to his family.
During its presidency, requests to investigate violations of rights, incitement crimes, sanitary crimes and against administration, electoral and responsibility crimes occurred without legal or political consequences. Pandemic avoidable deaths were unpunished. In 2023, Jair was sentenced to ineligibility by, who continues without judging other actions against him.
The biggest crimes whose execution culminated and became undisguised in the attacks of January 8. Following the denunciation of the Attorney General, he must judge the accusations of leadership of armed criminal organization, attempted violent abolition of democracy, coup d’état, qualified damage against the heritage of the Union and deterioration of overturned heritage.
It is rumored that Jair will be sentenced to house arrest, often applied to powerful people like. Poor black, in equivalent personal circumstances, usually stay in state prison.
Even ineligible, Jair follows a living political actor on many fronts, articulates demonstrations, negotiating support, plans elections of 2026, Brazilian electoral law has no sanctions to deal with this type of conduct, a worrying gap that releases coordinated actions of democratic erosion.
The boldest front has been the international. Eduardo Bolsonaro moved to the to conspire against the Brazilian state. And in the most modest hypotheses, it is not merely suspicious, but it is also the justification used by to apply sanctioning fares to Brazil. And it has suggested that the rescue price for this kidnapping is amnesty. Or amnesty to the father, or attack on the national economy.
Conspiracies against national sovereignty devoid of militaristic component and territorial violation are not punished by our criminal law. Another legal gap in the face of the new times, there is nothing to do, legally, against Brazilians who negotiate cybership or economic sanctions to Brazil, for example.
However, these articulations can also configure at least two other crimes against the administration of justice: obstruction of justice and coercion in the ongoing criminal proceedings in the Supreme Court.
Jair finances the life of the US and is the last beneficiary of his performance. Brother Flavio has been making clear the terms of bargain. Facts require at least a new criminal investigation of the eventual new complaint. They also demand precautionary measures against Jair. A pre -trial detention, both for its behavior and the risk of escape. At least one anklet.
The risk of STF and PGR inertia already exceeds the risk of eventual shouting that Bolsonaros measures can generate. But standing still would be beautiful tribute, of course, to our tradition of tolerance to political delinquency.
