Overview

• Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet filed final arguments asking the STF to convict Fernando de Sousa Oliveira, Filipe Martins, Marcelo Câmara, Marília Ferreira de Alencar, Mário Fernandes and Silvinei Vasques.
• The filing seeks convictions for armed criminal organization, attempted violent abolition of the democratic state, attempted coup, qualified damage to Union property and deterioration of protected heritage, with a request for monetary reparations.
• The PGR says messages and electronic files document coordination that included drafting a decree to rupture democratic order, monitoring authorities and mapping strongholds of rival voters to impede turnout in 2022.
• Allegations include PRF operations to hinder voters in the Northeast, the drafting of the “minuta do golpe,” surveillance of Minister Alexandre de Moraes under the so‑called Plano Punhal Verde e Amarelo and plans to neutralize authorities.
• The case advances after recent convictions of ‘Núcleo 1,’ including a multi‑decade sentence for Jair Bolsonaro, while Relator Alexandre de Moraes also asked the First Chamber president to schedule the trial of ‘Núcleo 4.’
