Fux diverges from Moraes and Dino, goes against STF’s understanding and votes to annul Bolsonaro’s case and 7 defendants in the coup plot

From live streams to January 8th: understand the 13 acts of execution of the coup plan listed in Moraes’ vote. Video: See 5 points to pay attention to in Fux’s manifestation. The lawyers of the defendants in the criminal action argue that the case should proceed in the first instance. However, the Supreme Court has already defined that the attribution to judge the cases related to January 8th is with the Court. Furthermore, the thesis defined by the Supreme Court in March of this year determines that the forum remains with the Court ‘even if the investigation or criminal action is initiated after the cessation of their exercise’. These are the cases of former President Jair Bolsonaro and defendants who were ministers at the time of the episodes targeted by the accusation. It is up to the Supreme Court to judge the president, ministers, and parliamentarians, for example. Fux considers that the Supreme Court is incompetent to judge the coup allegation against Bolsonaro.
