Last year, the First Panel of the Court had 21 sessions to judge the crucial, strategic, executing and disinformation nuclei, formed by investigators linked to Bolsonaro.
The trial ended with 29 defendants’ convictions and 2 acquittals.
On Friday (24), Alexandre de Moraes ended the definitive execution of the sentences of those convicted of the coup plot.
The arrests were completed after the minister ordered the execution of the sentences of the five convicts from Nucleus 2, the last group that was pending. The defendants belonging to groups 1, 3 and 4 have already been arrested.
January 8
The anti-democratic attacks that occurred on January 8, 2023 marked one of the most serious episodes against Brazilian institutionswhen groups of protesters invaded and vandalized the headquarters of the Palácio do Planalto, the National Congress and the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
Motivated by nonconformity with the result of the 2022 presidential elections, extremists vandalized national historical and artistic heritage, in an attempt to instigate a coup d’état and disrupt the democratic order.
Since the incident, the Judiciary has worked to hold those involved accountable, from the direct executors to the financiers and intellectual mentors of the coup attempt. The investigation, conducted under the report of Minister Alexandre de Moraes at the STF, divided the conduct into different areas of activity.
