The former president’s legal team could also file motions for reconsideration, which seek to modify the trial’s outcome.

However, this kind of appeal is only admissible when there are at least two acquittals, which did not occur. With this, the process is likely to conclude in the coming days.

The criminal action against Bolsonaro and six other defendants is in the final appeals phase.

When there is no further possibility of challenge, the sentence becomes firm and its execution proceeds.

The first chamber of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) sentenced in September the so-called coup group, with terms ranging from two to 27 years and three months in prison.

The latter sentence was imposed on Bolsonaro.

To date, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, Bolsonaro’s former aide-de-camp, is already serving a two-year sentence under an open regime.
