Fux Seeks Revision of 429-Page Dissent, Potentially Delaying Bolsonaro Acórdão

Overview

• All other ministers have delivered written votes as the court’s Secretariat awaits Fux’s revised text before consolidating the judgment.
• STF rules require publication within 60 days of the session minutes approved on September 24, giving a late‑November deadline that could slip with a revision or extensions.
• The acórdão’s publication triggers defendants’ appeals, including five‑day embargos de declaração, and is a prerequisite to steps toward executing sentences.
• Bolsonaro was convicted in September and sentenced to 27 years and 3 months, with co‑defendants receiving 2 to 26 years, while Fux was the sole vote for acquittal after a roughly 13‑hour oral reading.
• For Tuesday’s ‘nucleus 4’ case on disinformation, court reporting indicates Fux is expected to reprise his reasoning and vote to acquit the seven defendants.
