A Genial/Quaest poll released Sunday shows 52% of Brazilians oppose reducing sentences for those involved in the January 8 attacks, including former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes decided on Saturday to suspend the application of the Dosimetry Law, which reduces sentences for those convicted in the January 8 attacks. The measure awaits the Court's plenary analysis of the constitutionality of the rule promulgated by Congress on Friday. Reactions from opposition and government politicians followed quickly.

Brazil's Congress overrode President Lula's veto on the Dosimetria bill on Thursday (April 30), potentially reducing sentences for those convicted of coup-related acts, including Jair Bolsonaro. Cases will be reviewed individually by the STF. The move represents the government's second consecutive loss in Congress.
President Lula will formally announce his veto of the Dosimetria Bill—previously passed by Congress to ease penalties for Jair Bolsonaro and January 8 convicts—at a January 8, 2026, event marking the coup attacks' third anniversary. Planalto sources say allies, not the Executive, would challenge any congressional override in the STF.

The Federal Police conducted an operation on December 19, 2025, targeting federal deputies Sóstenes Cavalcante and Carlos Jordy from PL-RJ, probing the diversion of parliamentary quotas. Agents seized R$430,000 in cash from a property linked to Sóstenes, the PL leader in the Chamber. Supreme Court Justice Flávio Dino authorized searches and the breach of bank secrecy.
Bolsonaro-supporting lawmakers, including Senator Damares Alves, conducted a technical visit to the Papuda Penitentiary Complex, raising concerns about health, food, and hygiene access. Columnist Thiago Amparo critiques the selective embrace of human rights by the group, particularly amid Jair Bolsonaro's conviction. He stresses that rights apply universally, including to prisoners like Bolsonaro.

Former President Jair Bolsonaro was placed in preventive detention on Saturday (November 22, 2025) by order of STF Justice Alexandre de Moraes after attempting to tamper with his electronic ankle monitor using a soldering iron. The defense claims the act was due to medication side effects, while the left assesses that the arrest could divide the right. Bolsonaro is at the PF Superintendency in Brasília, receiving medical care.
