00:02In Brazil, the investigating judge, Alexandre de Moraes, requested on Tuesday that former President Jair Bolsonaro be convicted of the five crimes that he is charged with,
00:12which could result in a minimum sentence of 12 years and a maximum one of 43.
00:18Moraes became the first Supreme Court justice to vote on the case after a five-hour speech,
00:25where he defended his position and presented the evidence on which he based it.
00:30The justice affirmed that Brazil almost returned to a dictatorship because of a criminal organization led by Bolsonaro,
00:37who he said did not know how to lose an election.
00:41The far-right former president is charged with the crimes of attempting to violently abolish the state coup d'etat membership
00:49of a criminal organization, damage to public property and damage to protected heritage.
01:00Precisely in this regard, Supreme Court Minister Flavio Dino rejected the threat made by the Trump administration
01:07against Supreme Court justices with the aim of pressuring them to declare the former President Bolsonaro innocent of all charges.
01:15I'm amazed that anyone could imagine
01:21that the person who has risen to the position of Supreme Court minister could be intimidated by a tweet?
01:32Are there really people who think that a tweet from a foreign authority, from a foreign government,
01:37can change a Supreme Court ruling?
01:39Is there really anyone who thinks that blocking a credit card or Mickey Mouse can change a court ruling?
01:46Minister Flavio Dino agreed with Minister Alexandre de Moraes in his ruling,
01:51joining him in condemning the defendants for the five crimes with which they were charged,
01:56attending a coup, the violent abolition of the democratic rule of law,
02:01qualify damage to public property, damage to listed heritage property,
02:06and acting in and leading an armed criminal organization.
