Brazil opposition deputy seeks STF suspension of Jan 8 cases, citing Moraes bias

Federal deputy Zé Trovão filed a request with Brazil's Supreme Court (STF) to nullify acts in the January 8, 2023 riot cases involving Jair Bolsonaro, arguing that Justice Alexandre de Moraes' decisions must be reviewed. This is a legal maneuver by the opposition to challenge the ongoing prosecutions, but the STF has consistently upheld Moraes' handling. The move signals continued political friction but is unlikely to alter the judicial trajectory.
