The trial to ban Bolsonaro
The five magistrates must present their votes successively to determine whether the former president and the other defendants are responsible for conspiring to overturn the results of the 2022 elections, a process that could result in a historic conviction with a significant impact on the country's political landscape, since it is a serious political persecution to ban the main opposition leader.
The court scheduled daily hearings until Friday with the intention of bringing closure to a case that keeps Brazil deeply polarized. Last week, the arguments were already presented: the Prosecutor's Office, headed by Attorney General Paulo Gonet, requested the conviction of all the defendants and identified Bolsonaro as the alleged "leader" of the conspiracy, while the defense argued lack of evidence and requested acquittal.
