Quaest: 68% of the national financial market believes Bolsonaro will be imprisoned.
Market pessimism is revealed on the eve of the start of the former president's trial at the Supreme Court, which begins on the 25th.
247 - A survey by Genial/Quaest, released this Wednesday (19), indicates that 68% of financial market representatives believe that former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) will be arrested. The information is from the portal InfoMoney.
The survey was conducted at a time of increasing political tension, with the Supreme Federal Court (STF) about to judge the charges against Bolsonaro for attempted coup d'état.
Market perception reflects the seriousness of the accusations against the former president. In February of this year, the Attorney General's Office (PGR) formalized the charges against Bolsonaro and 33 other allies, including former ministers and military officers, accusing them of planning a coup to prevent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) from taking office in 2023.
The former president is identified as the leader of a scheme involving a coup decree and attempts to bribe commanders of the Armed Forces into an institutional rupture.
The Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) has scheduled the trial for March 25th. If the Court accepts the Attorney General's accusation, Bolsonaro will become a defendant and could formally face charges of attempted coup d'état, criminal organization, and violent abolition of the democratic rule of law. The process is being led by Justice Cristiano Zanin, who has already indicated the seriousness of the evidence gathered by the Attorney General's Office.
