Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) First Panel sentenced nine high-ranking military officials and one federal police officer to prison terms ranging from 1 year 11 months to 24 years on Nov. 18, 2025, after convicting them of plotting to kill President Lula, VP Geraldo Alckmin, and Justice Alexandre de Moraes before Lula's 2022 inauguration.\n\nThe plot, called "Green and Yellow Dagger," aimed to keep Bolsonaro in power after his election loss.\n\nJustice Alexandre de Moraes served as rapporteur for the trial.\n\nTen defendants (9 military officers, 1 federal police officer): 9 convicted, 1 acquitted.\n\nThe STF used charges of attempted violent abolition of democratic rule (Article 359-L), attempted coup (Article 359-M), armed criminal organization (Law 12,850/2013), and aggravated damage to heritage.\n\nThe convictions follow the STF's Sept. 2025 sentencing of Bolsonaro to 27 years 3 months for leading the coup attempt.\n\nDefendants won't serve sentences until appeals are exhausted, though the court can order immediate detention.
