The Federal Supreme Court (STF) formed a majority in favor of receiving the complaints against 250 people involved in the coup acts of January 8 in Brasília, when the headquarters of the Three Powers were vandalized. With that, the total number of defendants rises to 550. With the demonstration of the electronic vote by Minister Gilmar Mendes this Sunday (7), the score was 6 to 1. He followed the vote of the rapporteur of the cases, Minister Alexandre de Moraes, to make defendants defendants. The rapporteur’s vote also followed, accepting the accusations, ministers Dias Toffoli, Cármen Lúcia, Edson Fachin and Rosa Weber. The only contrary vote was that of André Mendonça, who rejected the complaint against 200 people, but voted for acceptance against another 50. Mendonça did not include the accused who were arrested the day after the incident, when they were camped at the Army Headquarters. Luís Roberto Barroso, Nunes Marques and Luiz Fux still need to vote. Due to the retirement of Ricardo Lewandowski, the Court does not have the vote of the 11th minister. The trial began last Wednesday (3) and continues until Monday (8), in the virtual plenary of the STF, a modality in which justices deposit their votes electronically, without in-person deliberation. Third group This is the third group investigated, totaling 550 of the 1,390 complaints filed by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), all focused on executors and people accused of inciting the depredation of public buildings in the center of the capital. In two previous judgments, which began at the end of April, by a majority, the Supreme Court decided to open criminal proceedings against 300 people accused of participating in anti-democratic acts. The judgment of the fourth group, with 250 denounced, was scheduled for next week. If the majority of the ministers accept the accusations, the accused will start to respond to a criminal action and will become defendants in the process. They will answer for the crimes of armed criminal association, violent abolition of the Democratic State of Law, coup d’état, qualified damage and incitement to crime. There will be collection of evidence and testimony from witnesses for the defense and prosecution. Afterwards, the STF will judge whether to convict or acquit the accused, which has no deadline to occur. On the 5th, Minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the release of 40 people. As a result, of the 1,400 initially detained, 253 people remain in prison (67 women and 186 men).
