Overview

• Most defense teams submitted final arguments to the Supreme Court asking for acquittal, while Filipe Martins withdrew his brief to file an incidental petition and Marcelo Costa Câmara’s filing remains pending.
• The Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet maintains that the six defendants coordinated coup-related actions tied to the ‘Punhal Verde e Amarelo’ plan, which allegedly contemplated killing top officials.
• The defense of General Mário Fernandes says police forensics show the plan was printed only once, not distributed, and discarded, and asks the court to acquit or at most consider incitement.
• Several defenses invoke Minister Luiz Fux’s prior dissent to argue for narrower readings of offenses, to challenge the constitutionality of certain counts, or to seek the relator’s impediment.
• No trial date has been set; Relator Alexandre de Moraes must draft his vote before the case can be scheduled, and proceedings could pause if the court accepts defense motions, with hearings for Núcleos 3 and 4 already reserved for October and November.
