Coup Attempt
Bolsonaro allies appeal STF convictions in coup plot case
On Monday, October 27, 2025, defenses of Jair Bolsonaro and other defendants convicted for the attempted coup d'état filed declaration embargoes with Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF). The appeals challenge omissions, contradictions, and penalty calculations from the First Panel's rulings. The moves aim to correct alleged errors and, in some instances, signal efforts to escalate the case to the full Court bench.
