Overview
- Videoconference custody hearings on Wednesday maintained the detentions of Jair Bolsonaro and five allies, with Bolsonaro held in a state‑major room at the Federal Police headquarters in Brasília under court‑mandated conditions.
- Generals Augusto Heleno and Paulo Sérgio Nogueira remain at the Comando Militar do Planalto, Almir Garnier at the Navy’s Radio Station in Brasília, Anderson Torres at the PMDF’s ‘Papudinha,’ and Walter Braga Netto in a special Army facility in Rio.
- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court’s First Panel unanimously validated Justice Alexandre de Moraes’s decision to start executing the sentences after the cases reached final judgment; Bolsonaro’s sentence is 27 years and 3 months.
- Deputy Alexandre Ramagem did not face a custody hearing because he is at large in the United States; a warrant was entered in Brazil’s prison monitoring system as federal police move to enforce his arrest.
- Political fallout intensified as Senator Ciro Nogueira conditioned PP support in 2026 on a pledge to grant a pardon to Bolsonaro and some January 8 participants, while President Lula praised the outcome as a lesson in democracy.
