The formal request, described in an order, indicates that the process is ready to be analyzed and that the definition of the date is crucial to give progress to the lawsuit. Moraes, who is the rapporteur of the case, argued in the document that, after the closure of the instructional phase, the fulfillment of all due diligence and the presentation of the final allegations by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) and the defendants’ lawyers, the process is in a position to be guided. The trial is expected to start in September.
“Crucial core” will be the first to be judged
The PGR denounced Bolsonaro and seven other defendants for allegedly integrating a conspiracy to nullify the result of the 2022 presidential elections and prevent the inauguration of the president -elect.
