Brazil’s Prosecutor General Seeks STF Convictions for Six Tied to Coup Plot’s Operational Cell

Overview

  • PGR filed final allegations in AP 2693 asking the Supreme Federal Court to convict Filipe Martins, Marcelo Câmara, Mário Fernandes, Silvinei Vasques, Marília Ferreira de Alencar and Fernando de Sousa Oliveira.
  • The charges sought include armed criminal organization, attempted abolition of the democratic rule of law, attempted coup d’état, qualified damage to Union property and deterioration of protected heritage.
  • Prosecutors cite messaging‑app exchanges and electronic files as key evidence linking the accused to planning and field operations connected to January 8, 2023.
  • The filing alleges the group drafted the so‑called minuta do golpe, tracked Justice Alexandre de Moraes under the Plano Punhal Verde e Amarelo and coordinated PRF blitzes to hinder voting in the Northeast during the 2022 runoff.
  • The move follows recent convictions of the plot’s political leadership, and in a parallel step Justice Alexandre de Moraes asked the First Panel’s president to schedule judgment of defendants identified as the investigation’s nucleus 4.
