The one who has sat on the bench to former president Jair Messias Bolsonaro for trying to hit Brazil will not arrive with a judge or jury that enters the room and reads only the decision, as in Hollywood films. The judges of the Supreme Court of Brazil deliberate before the public, unlike practically and all equivalent cuts in the world. And that means that anyone can continue live, whether in the room or many of kilometers, how the magistrates build the verdict. , it was this Tuesday the first to vote. He has asked Bolsonaro, who presided over Brazil between 2019 and 2022, be convicted of the five crimes that are charged to him, which can be a minimum penalty of 12 years and a maximum of 43.
In a five -hour intervention to defend his thesis and detail the evidence on which he relies, Moraes has emphasized: “We are forgetting that Brazil almost returns to a dictatorship by a criminal organization, formed by a political group and led by Jair Messias Bolsonaro, who does not know how to lose the elections.”
Bolsonaro denies that he tried to perpetrate an assonated, but he has recognized that, after being defeated at the polls in front of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, he summoned the dome of the Armed Forces to discuss exception measures.
Moraes has requested that the ultra -rightist be convicted of the crimes of attempted violent abolition of the State, belonging to criminal organization, damage to public goods, damage to the protected assets. The decision has been announced at half past two in the First Chamber of the Maximum Court, in Brasilia, which in January 2023. To also requested hard sentences. Six of the eight are military.
In his speech, Moraes has stressed that Bolsonaro, then president of the Government, was the leader of a criminal organization whose “purpose was very clear: to restrict the performance of the Judiciary to avoid the brake and counterweight system while initiating the consummation of a series of acts to perpetu maximum trust and used the structure of the state. ”
The former president Bolsonaro has not been in the room, like none of the others accused. The ultra -rightist, where he is in household prison. Moraes is responsible for voting the first because he is the instructor. The four colleagues with whom the instructor composes the First Chamber of the Supreme Court will announce their votes in the next hours or days. Three votes are enough to declare a guilty or innocent defendant of a crime.
The judge, as powerful as controversial, is famous abroad because he ordered to close X in Brazil last year. In tune with general state, Mores has defended that the coup conspiracy began to take shape in July 2021. Bolsonaro was the leader of a group hierarchized with the distribution of tasks that, with a conjunction of discourses of delegitimation of the electoral system, violent acts, threats to authorities, a plan to kill the elected president, the elected vice president and the investigating judge, the Moraes, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts, among other acts He tried to break the constitutional order with the sole purpose of perpetuating himself in power illegally.
Moraes has reiterated in a machacona way that “Jair Messias Bolsonaro was the head of a criminal organization.” The judge has argued that the then president of the Republic was aware of the magnicide plans because not only this was printed on two different occasions in two palaces in which he was but because another of those accused by the antidemocratic acts was told in an audio of the case, Mauro Cid, a lieutenant colonel who was at that time Personal Secretary of Bolsonaro. According to Moraes, the plan to eliminate the trio “is fully tested in the cars, there is excessive evidence,” he said.
For Judge Moraes, the assault on the headquarters of the three powers in Brasilia, “on January 8, 2023, was the final attempt of the criminal organization to specify what in 2021 proclaimed Bolsonaro [en uno de sus directos semanales de YouTube] ‘The armed forces never missing the call of the Brazilian people. It is the last notice that I give to the Judiciary. ”That day, according to the complaint, the coup conspiracy began to take shape.
Every so often the togado splashed his detailed explanations with jokes, winks or ironies … Strategies to recover the attention of the public. Sometimes he has managed to hear laughs in the room. Surely they are excellent television or networks.
Very serious, in the front row, the lawyer of former president Bolsonaro. In one of the stands, María Amelia Faxini Marangoni, a lady who did not want to miss “this historical judgment.” “I can’t believe that I have Judge Moraes in front of Judge,” she said with enormous emotion with her husband. More than a thousand citizens on foot will take turns to attend the sessions that remain until Friday, when the court hopes to issue a sentence.
The magistrate Moraes is the black beast of Bolsonarism since the retired captain of the army arrived in the presidency in 2019. They hate him because he has been assuming almost all the files that concern the former president, the family clan he leads and the political movement he heads. In recent years, Moraes has accumulated power with the support of most judges of the highest court.
