In a surprising turn of events, Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Luiz Fux decided to vote to acquit former President Jair Bolsonaro of an alleged coup attempt on Wednesday. Fux broke with his peers and also chose to annul Bolsonaro’s trial based on jurisdictional issues. This decision by Fux stands out as it goes against the previous legal positions related to the case. By voting for Bolsonaro’s acquittal, Fux has significantly raised the possibility of an appeal being filed against the verdict that was expected to be announced this week.
