The trial of former congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro by the STF's First Turma begins this Tuesday (16/6). He faces charges of alleged coercion in the coup plot case. Minister Alexandre de Moraes denied a postponement request from the Federal Public Defender's Office.
The proceedings begin with the reading of the report by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the case rapporteur. Next, the Federal Public Ministry presents the accusation based on the final arguments of Attorney General Paulo Gonet.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, who is in the United States, will be represented by the Federal Public Defender's Office. Defender Antonio Ezequiel Inácio Barbosa will deliver the oral arguments.
The vote will involve Ministers Moraes, Cristiano Zanin, Cármen Lúcia and Flávio Dino. Gonet stated that the defendant acted continuously to interfere in the process with the aim of halting the criminal prosecutions.
