Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered on Friday, April 24, 2026, the definitive enforcement of sentences for five convicts in Nucleus 2 of the coup plot linked to Jair Bolsonaro's government. The convictions, issued in December 2025, became final after no further appeals were possible. The defendants, mostly already in preventive detention, now serve sentences ranging from 8 to 26 years and six months.
Justice Alexandre de Moraes finalized the enforcement of sentences for those convicted in the coup plot by ordering the fulfillment of convictions for Nucleus 2, the last pending group. The decision followed the recognition that the First Chamber of the STF sentences from December 2025 had become final. Prisons for Nuclei 1, 3, and 4 had previously been ordered.
The convicts are: Mário Fernandes, Army reserve general (26 years and six months); Silvinei Vasques, former PRF director (24 years and six months); Marcelo Câmara, Army colonel and former Bolsonaro advisor (21 years); Filipe Martins, former International Affairs advisor (21 years); and Marília de Alencar, former Intelligence director at the Justice Ministry (8 years and six months, initially under house arrest for 90 days with electronic ankle monitor due to surgical recovery).
Accusations include drafting a coup draft by Filipe Martins, an assassination plan against Lula, Alckmin, and Moraes by Mário Fernandes (file “Punhal Verde e Amarelo”), illegal monitoring of Moraes by Marcelo Câmara, and PRF actions to block Lula voters in the 2022 runoff, coordinated by Silvinei Vasques and Marília de Alencar.
In the overall coup plot tally, the STF has convicted 29 defendants, with 20 in closed regime. Jair Bolsonaro, Augusto Heleno, and Marília de Alencar are under house arrest. Three arrest warrants remain unfulfilled, with fugitives abroad: Alexandre Ramagem, Carlos Cesar Moretzsohn Rocha, and Reginaldo Vieira de Abreu.
