The First Chamber of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) received the complaint against Federal Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) this Saturday, the 15th, and unanimously agreed to make him a defendant in the tribunal. The decision was taken after a vote by Minister Carmen Lucia, who was accompanied by other magistrates.

Alexandre de Moraes, Flavio Dino and Cristiano Zanin have already voted this Friday, the 14th, and have decided to accept the coercion charges brought by the Attorney General of the Republic, Paulo Gone.

For Gone, the lieutenant was trying to manipulate the process of a coup plot involving his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

The trial will take place in a virtual plenary session of the STF, where ministers will record their votes via an electronic system. Although the complaint has already been received, the analysis period only ends on November 25th. During this period, magistrates can change their votes, request reconsideration, or take the case to the plenary.

complaint

According to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), Eduardo Bolsonaro, currently a resident of the United States, has made public statements and social media posts claiming to be working for the North American government to impose sanctions on STF ministers, PGR members, and federal police for what he considers political persecution of himself and Jair Bolsonaro.

The sanctions include revoking visas to enter the United States, prohibiting people from bringing goods or valuables into the United States, and prohibiting them from establishing commercial relationships with North American nationals or individuals or entities doing business in the United States.

The public ministry’s criminal representative classifies the tone of the demonstrations as intimidating. It also points to the lawmaker’s intention to obstruct the technical work being carried out in the fake news investigation into the attack on the STF and the High Electoral Court.
