Authorities from the Legislative and Executive branches, the Republic’s General Attorney, Paulo Gonet, and the Federal Council of the Brazilian Bar Association president, Beto Simonetti will attend the ceremony.
The Supreme Court will resume the in-person plenary trial sessions on Wednesday. Among the first items on the agenda are the validity of evidence obtained from an intimate magazine of visitors to a penitentiary establishment, the reduction of police lethality in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and the political amnesty granted in 2020 to Aeronautical corporals retired by the military regime in 1964.
Other trials related to the attempted coup d’état, the responsibility of digital platforms, and the arrest of those involved in the invasion and looting of the capital’s headquarters of the Three Powers, on January 8, 2023, should return to the agenda in February.
According to the newspaper O Globo, the STF is returning from recess amid expectations that the Attorney General’s Office will file a complaint against former President Jair Bolsonaro and 39 other defendants for participating in a coup plot. “Behind the scenes, members of the court are assessing that a possible complaint will put the STF back in the spotlight and that a reorganization of the functioning of the first chamber of the court, the chamber in which the case will be tried, may be necessary so that other proceedings are not affected,” the newspaper said.
The case is expected to be sent to the court in the first days of the court’s return to office, allowing Bolsonaro to be tried in the first half of the year.
