Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin has set April 8 for the start of the trial on the Attorney General’s Office’s complaint against nucleus 3 of the coup plot during President Jair Bolsonaro’s administration. An additional session is scheduled for April 9 to review the case.

The dates were set after Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the case’s rapporteur, authorized it for trial.

According to the Attorney General’s Office, the indicted members of this group are accused of planning “tactical actions” to execute the coup plot. The group consists of 11 Army soldiers and a Federal Police officer.

. . .

On March 25, the collegiate body will rule on the complaint against nucleus 1, which includes former president Jair Bolsonaro and other defendants.
