"Bolsonaro will be arrested because he did something wrong. It's that simple," says Leonardo Stoppa.
"Granting amnesty to promote peace is encouraging new crimes," added the journalist on the program Leo ao Quadrado.
247 - On the afternoon of Monday, January 8th, the program "Leo ao Quadrado" discussed the developments following the "Unshaken Democracy" event that took place in the National Congress. During the broadcast, Leonardo Stoppa emphasized his conviction that President Bolsonaro will be denounced and possibly arrested soon due to actions considered irregular. "Bolsonaro will be arrested because he committed irregularities," he said.
Stoppa highlighted the change in leadership at the Attorney General's Office, mentioning that the current Attorney General, Paulo Gonet, has no party alliances and is expected to indict all those involved in attacks on democracy. The prospect of lawsuits against Bolsonaro in various courts, including the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), was discussed, clarifying that the former president's imprisonment will depend on a final and unappealable judgment.
The program also brought up Stoppa's position on the amnesty proposal. The journalist argued that granting amnesty to promote peace would actually encourage the commission of new crimes. He stressed the importance of not pardoning those who attack democracy, stating that this measure would be counterproductive, encouraging the repetition of offenses. "Granting amnesty to promote peace is encouraging new crimes," he pointed out. Watch:
