Justice Fux historical vote at Brazilian Supreme Court

In this episode, we dive into the Supreme Federal Court (STF) of Brazil's session on September 10, 2025, focusing on Minister Luiz Fux's detailed vote in Criminal Action 2668 (Nucleus 1). Drawing from two key sources, the analysis covers critical preliminary issues like the STF's jurisdiction, the debate over First Panel vs. Plenary competence, and claims of due process violations stemming from limited evidence access (e.g., massive data dumps). On the merits, Fux examines charges including armed criminal organization, attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, coup d'état, and qualified damage to public property. He argues that evidence often falls short of legal standards for conviction against most defendants, though he highlights exceptions, such as potential accountability for Anderson Torres in specific crimes. This breakdown explores the implications for Brazil's judicial integrity and democratic safeguards—essential viewing for legal enthusiasts and those following high-stakes political trials.
