STF states that the former deputy did not respect the conditions imposed for his parole; according to lawyers, Silveira was only out of the house after the permitted time because he had a medical emergency
After the minister of the (Federal Supreme Court) upheld the revocation of the parole in a custody hearing, the former deputy’s defense spoke out, considering the decision as “disproportionate, arbitrary, illegal and irrational”. Lawyers argue that Moraes’ action violated the Criminal Executions Law, which determines that the convicted person must be heard before any change in their sentence regime.
Silveira’s arrest took place in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, after Moraes found that the former parliamentarian did not respect the conditions imposed for his parole, granted just four days earlier. The minister highlighted that, on the first day of freedom, Silveira did not follow the curfew, returning home more than four hours after the established limit.
Silveira’s defense argues that he did not violate any rules, claiming that his departure was motivated by a medical emergency due to a kidney crisis. However, Moraes highlighted that there was no judicial authorization for this departure and that no convincing justification was presented to prove the urgency of the situation. Furthermore, Silveira passed by a condominium twice that day — once while on his way to the hospital and another after being discharged, before even returning home —, as shown by the monitoring of the electronic ankle bracelet.
Daniel Silveira was sentenced by the STF to a sentence of 8 years and 9 months in prison for inciting acts considered anti-democratic by the Court. He had been released on parole after serving a third of his sentence, with the condition that, among other precautionary measures, he remained at home at night and on holidays, which is now under question due to non-compliance with established rules.
