Overview

• The First Panel chose Dino by acclamation on September 23, and he assumes the presidency on October 1 for a one-year mandate.
• He will set the calendar for trials of 23 defendants divided into three prosecutorial nuclei, with the Court expecting to complete all judgments this year to avoid the 2026 electoral period.
• The coup-related cases remain under rapporteur Alexandre de Moraes, which keeps the First Panel as the competent body for the decisions.
• The docket includes the operational group with Filipe Martins and former PRF director Silvinei Vasques, the military-linked “kids pretos,” and a disinformation nucleus that still awaits a PGR complaint.
• Beyond those cases, Dino recently opened a new inquiry into Jair Bolsonaro based on the CPI da Covid report, and the panel also has the Marielle Franco and PM-DF omission cases ready to be scheduled.
