The processes investigate intellectual authors and executors of the 8th of January.
In all, the PGR has already filed 1,390 complaints against those involved in the attacks on the headquarters of the Three Powers. Of these, 239 would be among the executors of extremist acts; 1,150 among instigators; and one related to the omission of public agents. If the majority of ministers follow Moraes’ vote, the next steps will be to collect evidence and testimonies from witnesses to then judge whether the accused should be charged or acquitted.
The President of the House, Minister Rosa Weber, said that the other complaints will be taken to the analysis of the ministers gradually.
