Overview
- Rapporteur Alexandre de Moraes dismissed Jair Bolsonaro’s objections as unviable and urged confirmation of the September conviction.
- Flávio Dino and Cristiano Zanin sided with De Moraes, while Cármen Lúcia’s vote remains pending under the First Chamber’s Nov. 14 deadline.
- One justice, Luiz Fux, accepted parts of the defense’s arguments and stepped away from the final phase after falling into the minority.
- Bolsonaro was sentenced to roughly 27 years for conspiring against the democratic order following the 2022 election and in connection with the January 2023 attacks.
- If the remaining appeal is rejected, the court will determine the place and conditions for Bolsonaro’s incarceration; he is currently under house arrest in a separate case.
