These included attempting to stage a coup, leading an armed criminal organisation, attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, and two more charges related to the damage of property during the storming of buildings in Brasília.
The charges could carry a huge sentence of up to 40 years in prison prison.
Sentencing is scheduled for Friday.
