On Tuesday, September 9, 2025, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court resumed the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of attempting a coup d’état following the 2022 elections. The session began with the vote of Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the case’s rapporteur, who called for Bolsonaro’s conviction on five charges: attempted coup, violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, armed criminal organization, qualified damage, and deterioration of public property.
The trial is being closely monitored by international media and political observers, as Bolsonaro denies any involvement in a plan to remain in power after his electoral defeat. According to Reuters, this case marks one of the most delicate moments in Brazil’s recent history, seen as a test for the strength of its democratic institutions.
As reported by the Associated Press, all justices of the First Panel of the Supreme Court are expected to present their votes by Friday, when the trial is scheduled to conclude. If convicted, Bolsonaro could become ineligible for public office and face prison sentences.
The case has drawn additional international attention due to Alexandre de Moraes himself being under sanctions imposed by the United States, which question his handling of freedom of speech cases and judicial proceedings in Brazil.
