As of August 12, 2025, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) had held 1,190 people accountable for the anti-democratic acts committed on January 8, 2023. Of these, 638 were tried and convicted, while another 552 admitted to less serious offenses and reached plea agreements with the Federal Prosecution Service (MPF).
According to data from the chambers of the Reporting Justice, Justice Alexandre de Moraes, 279 of the 638 convictions were for serious crimes — attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, attempted coup d’état, aggravated damage, criminal association, and deterioration of public property — and 359 were for less serious crimes, namely incitement and criminal association. Ten individuals were acquitted.
To date, the STF has opened 1,628 criminal cases: 518 related to serious crimes and 1,110 to less serious crimes. Of these, 112 are ready for judgment and are expected to be reviewed in the coming months, while the remainder are still in the evidentiary phase. So far, 131 cases have been closed due to completion of the sentence.
At present, 29 people are in pretrial detention, 112 are serving definitive prison sentences — meaning their trials have concluded and they are in the enforcement stage — and 44 individuals, whether under investigation or charged, are under house arrest, with or without electronic monitoring.
Plea agreements
The Federal Supreme Court (STF) has so far approved 552 Non-Prosecution Agreements (ANPP, the acronym in Portuguese). These agreements were offered to defendants charged solely with the offenses of incitement to crime and criminal association, considered less serious. The individuals had camped in front of military barracks, but there was no evidence that they participated in the attempted coup d’état, obstructed the functioning of the Branches of Government, or damaged public property.
Conditions
In addition to admitting to the crimes, the defendants agreed to perform community service or work for public entities, refrain from committing similar offenses, and avoid prosecution for other crimes or misdemeanors, as well as pay a fine of R$5,000. They are also prohibited from using open social media platforms until all conditions of the agreement have been fulfilled. In addition, they must complete a course on democracy, the rule of law, and coup d’état.
Compensation for collective moral damages — covering the cost of destruction to public buildings — has been set at a minimum of R$30 million. This amount will be paid jointly by all those convicted of serious crimes, regardless of the length of their sentence.
Extraditions
The Federal Supreme Court has so far requested the extradition of 61 individuals, in cases currently under seal.
