The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies has approved a resolution to suspend the criminal case against federal deputy Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ) at the Supreme Federal Court (STF), related to an alleged coup plot. The vote, which passed with 315 votes in favor and 143 against, was seen as a significant move by the Chamber to assert its authority against the judiciary. The resolution was promulgated by the president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta, immediately after the vote. The resolution specifically targets the legal proceedings against Ramagem, a former director of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) under ex-President Jair Bolsonaro. The decision has sparked a debate over the extent of parliamentary immunity and its application to other defendants in the coup plot case, including Bolsonaro himself. The vote was led by the deputy Alfredo Gaspar, who argued for the suspension of the entire process related to the events of 8 de janeiro. The STF is set to review the Chamber's decision in a virtual session starting on Friday, May 9, led by the First Panel of the court. The outcome of this review will determine whether the suspension of Ramagem's case will hold, and if it could potentially extend to other defendants in the coup plot case related to the events of 8/1.
