Brazil’s Supreme Court Finalizes Bolsonaro Conviction, Orders Sentence to Begin at Federal Police HQ

Overview

• Minister Alexandre de Moraes declared the case transitado em julgado after Bolsonaro, Alexandre Ramagem and Anderson Torres declined to file second embargos de declaração and ruled embargos infringentes inadmissible because there was only one vote for acquittal.
• Bolsonaro will serve his 27-year, 3-month sentence in a State-Major room at the Federal Police superintendence in Brasília, where he has been held preventively since Saturday for violating electronic monitoring and posing a flight risk.
• Moraes ordered the execution of sentences and custody for key co-defendants, with Augusto Heleno and Paulo Sérgio Nogueira taken to the Comando Militar do Planalto, Almir Garnier assigned to a Navy facility in Brasília, and Anderson Torres ordered into custody.
• Ramagem faces an arrest order and was reported to be in the United States, while Mauro Cid remains on a two-year domiciliary term under a cooperation deal and Braga Netto stays in Army custody in Rio from a prior preventive detention.
• Political fallout escalated as opposition leaders pressed for a rapid amnesty vote and international actions against Moraes, while Defense Minister José Múcio said accountability is personal and institutions were preserved.
