Last week, the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) received the official document sent by the Supreme Federal Court (STF), which is responsible for deciding whether Bolsonaro and the other suspects will be charged with the crimes of criminal organization, abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law and attempted coup d’état.

In addition to Bolsonaro, former ministers of his administration (2019-2022) and military personnel are included in the investigation.

At a forum in Lisbon (Portugal) last Friday, Paulo Gonet, Attorney General of the Republic, told CNN Brasil, that the police content needs a “deeper study” and the answer will probably not be known this year, but in 2025. It is a case of enormous complexity, also because of the number of individuals involved, and Whatever the next demonstration is, it has to be very responsible and done in a balanced, safe, and fair way”

In addition to the alleged participation in an attempted coup, Bolsonaro was also accused in two other cases: fraud in the anti-COVID-19 vaccination card and the case of Saudi jewelry given to his government, later negotiated in the United States. The maximum sentences pr the three crimes could reach 70 years.
