Joaquim Barbosa
Joaquim Barbosa is a prominent Brazilian lawyer and former judge who served as the President of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) of Brazil from 2012 to 2014. He is best known for his role in the Mensalão trial, which was a landmark corruption case that led to the conviction of several high-profile politicians and members of the ruling party. Barbosa's tenure at the STF was marked by his commitment to judicial independence and transparency, making him a significant figure in Brazil's legal landscape. In recent news, his judicial approach is being referenced as a potential precedent for the upcoming trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro regarding charges of attempted coup d'état.
