“No one piece of evidence”: Polsonaro pays innocence in Brazil Gear Bolsonaro News star-news.press/wp

Lawyers who represent former President Gear Bolsonaro told a committee of five judges in the Brazilian Supreme Court that their client had been deprived of a fair hearing on charges of charges.

The case is expected to be judged within days. But on Wednesday, the Bolsonaro defense team argued that anything other than innocence would be aborting justice.

Polsonaro’s lawyers also asked whether the trial was transferred due to political motives.

“We were unable to reach the evidence, and we had enough time to pass,” Lawyer Celsu Villardi told the Supreme Court.

However, Vilaardi told the court that there was no “one piece of evidence that” Bolsonaro “is not the alleged plot to cancel the Brazilian elections in 2022.

Heart of the elections?

These elections, Bolsonaro, witnessed a job operator, a narrow defeat in the flow against Luise Insio Lula da Silva, the current president.

A former army captain and a maximum right leader, Polsonaro has never waived his loss, and he and his allies are accused of seeking to raise the turmoil in order to adhere to power.

Prosecutors gave evidence that Bolsonaro and his supporters intend to declare a “siege” that would push military action and new elections. He claimed that he suggested that Lula, his left rival.

Bolsonaro denied committing any violations, instead, the trial was framing as a political function.

He faces five charges, including an attempt to coup, and seeks to end the rule of democratic law and participate in an armed criminal organization.

The two charges are related to the damage of the property that occurred on January 8, 2023, when thousands of supporters of Bolsonaro stormed government buildings in the capital, Brazilia, to protest against his defeat. Some rioters expressed their goal is to push the army to intervene.

In November 2024, the Federal Police determined the evidence on the case in a report of 884 pages, and in February, Paulo Gunnett Prosecutor filed charges.

Since then, the issue has become an international scene, as world leaders like US President Donald Trump weighs.

High risk experience

For some critics, the ruling will be a test of Brazil’s democracy, and only four decades.

For Bolsonaro supporters, the issue is an example of the government’s efforts to monitor the right -wing voices. Trump, who is Polsonaro, put a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian exports to the United States to protest the trial of the former president.

On Wednesday’s session, Defense lawyer Paulo compared being Beno’s trial with Bolsonaro with the wrong condemnation of the Jewish army officer Alfred Drivus, a nineteenth century case in France that directed an international condemnation.

“The innocence is completely necessary so that we do not have our copy of the Dreyfus case,” said Beno to the Supreme Court.

Polsonaro himself is not a Jew. He was absent from the courtroom in recent days, and according to what was stated due to severe hiccups and other medical concerns caused by an appeal injury he received on the campaign path in 2018.

However, in the last days of the trial, his lawyers have sought doubt on the circumstances on which the case is based.

They asked about a call reached with a sellers in Bolsonaro, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Sayed, who is now a witness to the state. They pointed out that the experiment was transferred in order to avoid the repercussions in the general elections for the year 2026.

The son seeks to pardon Bolsonaro

Outside the court, Ibn Bolsonaro, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, argued that the Supreme Court is biased against his father: he was one of the justice, Flavio Dino, former Minister of Justice Lula, and another, Cristiano Zanin, Lula’s lawyer.

Flavio Bolsonaro also indicated that he is gathering support at the Brazilian conference to pass the amnesty law, which would protect his father and riots from the 2023 attack on the capital.

“We will work with the amnesty and unlimited amnesty,” Flavio Bolsonaro told reporters on Tuesday.

According to one of the sons of the former president, Eduardo Bolsonaro, repeatedly visited Trump at the White House.

However, the Supreme Court rejected any prosecution of bias. At the beginning of Tuesday’s session, Judge Alexander de Moraz said that the court would not bend to external pressure, including from Trump.

“The national sovereignty cannot, and it should not, and will not be distorted, negotiated or extorted,” said De Morais.

Bolsonaro faces up to 43 years in prison if convicted.
