The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Gilmar Mendes voted this Friday (28) to make defendants over 200 denounced by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) for alleged participation in the acts of January 8, in Brasília. The Court formed a majority this Thursday (27) to accept the PGR’s complaints. So far the score is 7-0.

In addition to Gilmar Mendes, ministers who have already accompanied Dias Toffoli, Edson Fachin, Cármen Lúcia, Luiz Fux and Luís Roberto Barroso. The votes of the President of the Court, Minister Rosa Weber, and Ministers Nunes Marques and André Mendonça are still missing.
