Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes strongly criticized a bill proposing amnesty for individuals involved in the January 8th attacks in BrasÃlia. He compared the attacks to a home invasion, questioning whether such acts should be pardoned.
The article focuses on the ongoing trial of the second group of defendants accused in relation to the attacks. Justice Moraes stated there is sufficient evidence to indict the six defendants, which includes ex-PRF director Silvinei Vasques, general Mario Fernandes, and ex-presidential advisor Filipe Martins.
The court rejected arguments for the judge's recusal and allegations of procedural irregularities by the defense.
The court swiftly rejected defense motions to nullify the proceedings due to claims of bias and lack of access to all evidence. The justices asserted that the current phase evaluates evidence presented by the prosecution, and full access to evidence will be permitted later if the case proceeds.
The defendants largely deny the accusations against them.
