The Military Public Ministry asked the Superior Military Court (STM) this Tuesday (3) to declare the loss of posts and patents of former president Jair Bolsonaro, former Navy commander Almir Garnier and generals Augusto Heleno, Paulo Sérgio Nogueira and Walter Souza Braga Netto.
Therefore, in practice, If the STM accepts the representations and condemns the military, they will be expelled of the Armed Forces. It is the first time in history that the Court will analyze a case involving a crime against democracy.
The rapporteur for the action against Bolsonaro will be minister Carlos Aquino, who was appointed to the STM in 2018 by former president Michel Temer (MDB). The reviewer of the process will be Minister Verônica Sterman, who recently arrived at the court on the recommendation of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
