Overview

  • Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet requested the Supreme Federal Court convict Jair Bolsonaro and seven associates on five counts related to an armed conspiracy to overturn the 2022 election.
  • The charges encompass coup d’état, armed criminal organization, attempted violent abolition of the democratic state of law, qualified damage by serious violence or threat, and deterioration of protected property.
  • Gonet cited manuscripts, digital files, message exchanges, and spreadsheets as evidence that Bolsonaro spearheaded a plot mobilizing state and military resources.
  • The accused include former ministers and senior military officers who face potential prison terms of 12 to 40 years if convicted.
  • The trial’s instruction phase has closed and the court will hear defense rebuttals ahead of a verdict slated for September or October, as U.S. President Donald Trump has condemned the process and imposed tariffs on Brazilian imports.
