The ruling, the ruling on the coup trial for Brazil Bolsonaro, set for the month of September Gear Bolsonaro News star-news.press/wp

The Supreme Court will judge the fate of the former president in the event of dividing the nation that may lead to a long period of prison.

Brazil’s Supreme Court says it will issue a ruling and punishment for the coup trial of former President Geer Bolsonaro early next month, in a case that attracted the country and was drawn into the ally of the former leader, US President Donald Trump.

The court announced on Friday that the Five Justice Committee, which oversees the procedures, will provide decisions on the five accusations between 2 and 12 September. The condemnation of the coup has a penalty of up to 12 years.

Under the arrest of the house since August 4, Polsonaro has been accused of organizing a plot to cling to power after losing the 2022 presidential elections against Luiz Insio Lula da Silva. He denies these allegations.

Public prosecutors claim that Bolsonaro led a criminal organization that sought to cancel the election results.

The case includes accusations that the conspiracy included plans to kill Lula and the Supreme Court judge Alexander de Mora, who heads the trial. They have made handwritten messages and notes and other materials they say document the plot.

Defense lawyers are inconsistent that no coup attempt was made and that Bolsonaro allowed presidential surrender, undermining the allegations that he tried to prevent.

The five charges against Bolsonaro include an attempt to coup, participate in an armed criminal organization, and tried to abolish the violence of a democratic order, and two charges linked to the destruction of state property.

Two separate panels of five lenses work within the Supreme Court in Brazil. Justice de Morais, the repeated goal of Bolsonaro supporters, sits in the committee that hears the case. Although Bolsonaro appointed two judges during his 2019-2022 presidency, both of them work on the other painting.

The headquarters of the Supreme Court in Brazilia was one of the targets of riots, one of the supporters known as “Bolsonaristas”, who raided government buildings in January 2023, where he urged the army to stop Lula, a rebellion attempt that sparked Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.

The riots also prompted comparisons of the Brazilian military coup for the year 1964, a dark era that Polsonaro publicly praised.

The trial has captured the divided fans of Brazil. Tensions deepened when Trump linked a 50 percent tariff for Brazilian imports with his legal ally, describing the procedures as a “charming chase” and Bolsonaro described it as a “honest man” facing “political death”.

The Trump administration also imposed Judge De Morris and imposed more commercial restrictions on Brazil, a move that has been widely criticized in the country as an attack on national sovereignty.

A recent survey of Datafolha found that more than half of the Brazilians support the decision to put Bolsonaro under the arrest of the House of Representatives, while 53 percent rejects the idea that he is being persecuted politically.
