Brazil's Supreme Court will rule on Thursday on the legality of Bolsonaro's pardon of Daniel Silveira.
Silveira was pardoned by presidential decree after being sentenced to more than eight years in prison for threatening Supreme Court justices and the democratic system.
247 - The trial of the action questioning the legality of the presidential pardon granted by Jair Bolsonaro (PL) to former deputy Daniel Silveira was rescheduled by the president of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), minister Rosa Weber, for Thursday (27), reports the newspaper The Globe.
Silveira was pardoned by presidential decree after being sentenced to more than eight years in prison for threatening Supreme Court justices and the democratic system.
Several political parties, including Rede, PDT, Cidadania, and PSOL, as well as politicians, appealed to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to challenge the pardon. They allege that Bolsonaro interfered in the democratic process and "decided to act as a reviewing body of judicial decisions."
This is not the first time the Supreme Court has scheduled the case for trial. In March, Rosa Weber had scheduled the analysis of the issue for April 13, but the matter was removed from the agenda.
