Supreme Federal Court

The **Supreme Federal Court** (, , abbreviated **STF**) is the supreme court (court of last resort) of Brazil, serving primarily as the Constitutional Court of the country.

It is the highest court of law in Brazil.

On 8 January 2023, supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed and invaded the Praça dos Três Poderes in Brasília, taking over the offices of the Supreme Federal Court, National Congress of Brazil and the Palácio do Planalto. The event was seen as an attempted coup d'état to overturn the election results of the 2022 general election.
