The minister voted on Tuesday (9) to condemn (PL) by and the other defendants of the action for involvement with the plan to remain in power after the defeat of the former president to (PT) in the election of 2022.
“Jair Bolsonaro exercised the role of leader of the criminal organization, using the structure of the Brazilian state to implement the authoritarian project of power,” said Moraes.
The minister stated that the acts performed by the group should be considered as execution of the coup attempt.
“The criminal organization narrated in the complaint of the Attorney General’s Office actually began the practice of criminal conduct, with concrete enforcement acts, in mid-July 2021. And remained active until January 8, 2023, having been composed of members of the Federal Government and military of the Armed Forces, with a clear objective of restricting and preventing the free exercise of constituted powers,” he said.
The other ministers of the first class of the Supreme will also speak until the end of the trial. By order, Moraes will be succeeded by, and.
Moraes, rapporteur of the case, is the prime minister to vote for a case, who has Bolsonaro among the defendants.
The eight defendants of this group were attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law and attempted coup d’état, as well as qualified damage and deterioration of listed heritage.
Most of them denies having committed any irregularity. One of them, Mauro Cid, signed an award -winning agreement.
In his demonstration, the minister pointed to Bolsonaro as leader of a criminal organization that began in 2021, when the coup attempt began to perpetuate himself as President of the Republic.
“The leader of the criminal group makes clear, in a public, in a public way, that he would never accept a defeat in the polls, a democratic defeat in the elections, which would never fulfill popular will,” he said of the role of the former president.
The minister said that Bolsonaro’s presence in meetings in which the neutralization of authorities were discussed, the impression of plans in these same places, and an audio by General Mário Fernandes are “full proof” and the technique of the then president in an attempt to coup.
The executory acts, he said, were the actions that began in June 2021, more than a year before, with attacks on the electronic ballot boxes and intention to maintain power by the Bolsonaro group.
“There is no doubt, in all these convictions and more than 500 agreements of non -criminal prosecution, that there was attempted abolition to the Democratic Rule of Law, that there was an attempt to coup that there was criminal organization,” said Moraes, who is the rapporteur of the case.
Tuesday’s session will go until 19h, and then the trial will resume on Wednesday (10), in the morning. The idea is that the analysis of the criminal action will go until Friday (12).
