STF judges next week another 200 investigated for coup acts

Next week, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) will judge complaints against over 200 people involved in the coup acts of January 8 of this year. The virtual trial will start on Tuesday (25), ending on May 2. In the virtual modality, ministers deposit votes electronically and there is no in-person deliberation. On Monday (24), the judgment of the first 100 accused will be closed. So far, there is a majority of six of the 11 Justices of the Court to make them defendants in the process. In total, more than 1,300 people who participated in the acts were denounced by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) to the STF. If the majority of the ministers accept the accusations, the accused start to respond to a criminal action and become defendants. Next, Minister Alexandre de Moraes, rapporteur for the cases, should analyze the maintenance of the arrest of the accused. Prisoners According to a survey by the STF, of the 1,400 people arrested on the day of the attacks, 294 (86 women and 208 men) remain in the Federal District penitentiary system. The others were released because they no longer represented a risk to society and investigations.
