Moraes to Judge Eduardo Bolsonaro's Alleged Coup Attempt

Moraes to Report on Inquiry Against Eduardo Bolsonaro for Alleged Coup Attempt Brazil is currently focused on an inquiry investigating allegations of a coup attempt against the Supreme Federal Court (STF). The investigation centers on Eduardo Bolsonaro, a dismissed federal deputy. On Monday, May 26th, Minister Alexandre de Moraes was appointed as the rapporteur for the case, a decision based on the STF's internal regulations due to his involvement in related prior cases. The PGR's denunciation supports this decision. The secrecy surrounding the inquiry was lifted by Minister Moraes, who also set a 10-day deadline for the Federal Police to collect testimonies from Eduardo Bolsonaro and his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. The former president's statements regarding his financial responsibility for his son's activities in the United States are also being investigated. This case highlights the ongoing political tensions in Brazil and the legal processes involved in addressing such high-profile investigations. The leader of the PT in the Chamber, Lindbergh Farias, has also filed a criminal representation that contributed to the decision to assign the case to Minister Moraes. This ongoing investigation is likely to continue to dominate headlines in the coming weeks.
