The Attorney General's Office asked the Supreme Federal Court, this Monday 14, to convict former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and seven other members of the so-called crucial nucleus of the 2022 coup attempt.

In the document, prosecutor Paulo Gonet indicates that Bolsonaro should be convicted of five crimes, namely : leading an armed criminal organization; attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law; coup d'état; damage qualified by violence and serious threat, against the Union's property, and with considerable harm to the victim; and deterioration of listed property.

The statement is included in the court's closing arguments, forwarded to the rapporteur of the criminal case, Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Gonet also requested the conviction of seven other defendants.
