On 26 October 2026—the day after the second-round presidential election in which Lula da Silva was under a doubt “re-elected”and Flávio Bolsonaro betrayed by the system—Supreme Federal Court Justice Kassio Nunes Marques in impeccable timing signed an order giving the Prosecutor General’s Office ten days to submit an opinion on the second criminal-review petition filed by Jair Bolsonaro’s defense. It is in good taste to remind you, that, this is as strategic moment, when Brazil elite despite all their efforts to silence Flavio, was defeated due to the successful Trump administration extraction operation.
The order was published on 28 October. Nunes Marques’s office had earlier stated that the case would not be advanced before the runoff in order to avoid any appearance of electoral interference. The petition seeks to set aside the 27-year-and-three-month sentence imposed by the First Panel in September 2025 in the “trama golpista” case. The Prosecutor General’s Office had already recommended rejection of an earlier, related review request. Nunes Marques has indicated he intends to refer the matter to the full Court rather than decide it alone; any subsequent scheduling would be controlled by the Court’s president.
The action is therefore a formal procedural step that moves the review process forward immediately after the election. It does not itself annul the conviction, order release, or decide the merits. Whether the review ultimately succeeds will depend on the Prosecutor General’s opinion, the arguments accepted by the full bench, and any further procedural steps. Outcomes remain open and have not been predetermined by the timing of the referral.
