TL;DR
- Justice Luiz Fux has ordered full electronic access to sealed investigations concerning former President Jair Bolsonaro.
- The investigations include inquiries into fake news, digital militias, vaccination data falsification, and anti-democratic acts.
- The order was issued in response to a request by the Progressistas party seeking to annul evidence in a supposed coup attempt investigation.
- Fux stated that judicial equidistance requires equal access to facts, and seals should not prevent oversight by the body responsible for validating the investigation's initiation.
- The Workers' Democratic Party (PDT) sought to intervene as an amicus curiae, arguing against the Progressistas' request.
