Brazil’s Supreme Court begins to judge 70 more accused for acts of Jan. 8; Justice Moraes votes in favor

The Justices of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) began judging, in the early hours of Friday (2), another 70 charges offered by the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGR) of people involved in the January 8 acts in Brasília.

This seventh block of accused is formed by 64 people appointed as alleged inciters of the acts and another six for executing the invasion and depredation of the headquarters of the Three Branches in investigations reported by Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

As in the previous six indictments, Moraes voted in favor of making them defendants alleging the “occurrence of the so-called multitudinous offenses, i.e., those committed by a large number of people, where the intersubjective link is significantly amplified, because ‘one agent exerts influence over the other, to the point of motivating actions by imitation or suggestion, which is sufficient for the existence of the subjective link, even if they do not know each other'”.

“The Public Prosecutor’s Office even points out that all ‘acted in competition, united by the subjective bond for the realization of the common work, and should be strictly held responsible for their acts in equal measures,'” he writes in the decision.
