What is Bolsonaro accused?
The PGR asked for the condemnation of Bolsonaro for the accusations of the main armed criminal organization; attempted violent abolition of the state of democratic law; coup d’état; Damage against the Heritage Union; and deterioration of the listed heritage.
Bolsonaro’s defense told his latest accusations to the Supreme Court that the accusation is “absurd” and that there is no evidence to transform the former president into plans to kill the authorities “and much less in the documents of January 8”, when the supporters of the president invaded the headquarters of the three powers in Brasilia.
“At no time Jair Bolsonaro has committed any conduct destined to prevent or hinder the inauguration of the then elected president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. On the contrary, he has always defended and reaffirmed democracy and the rule of law,” said Bolsonaro’s defense.
In the 197 -page game, the defense also states that the accusation of Mauro Cid, a former Orders of Bolsonaro, must be canceled, classifying him as an “informant without credibility”.
If sentenced for all these crimes, the sentence against the former president can exceed 40 years.
The trial was marked after the compulsory stages of the case, such as the testimonies of witnesses and interrogations of the defendants.
Bolsonaro awaits the decision of the Supreme Court pursuant to the arrest of the Chamber, decreed in early August by Moraes, after the minister believed he had failed a precautionary measure that has forbidden him to express himself through his social networks and the third parties.
Bolsonaro’s defense said he was “surprised” with the chamber’s arrest decree and said the former president “did not interrup any measure”.
