The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Dias Toffoli voted this Wednesday (26) to make defendants over 200 accused of alleged involvement in the acts of January 8. Toffoli followed the understanding of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the case’s rapporteur, who accepted the complaints presented by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR). So far, only Toffoli and Moraes have voted.

The trial, which takes place in the virtual plenary, began this Tuesday (25) and runs until May 2. The Court is analyzing the judged investigations that judge the intellectual authors of the acts (4921) and the executors (4922) of the acts of vandalism that resulted in the invasion and depredation of the headquarters of the Three Powers.

On Monday (24), the Supreme Court ministers concluded the analysis of the first wave of complaints filed by the PGR and, by majority vote, decided to make 100 accused defendants.
