A truck driver sentenced to 14 years in prison and fugitive from justice since last year has become to press the mayor, (-PB), to guide the amnesty to those involved.
Ezequiel Ferreira Luis, 43, was arrested in the act by the Military Police inside the Planalto Palace, which was depredated, as well as the headquarters of the Legislature and the Judiciary.
Father of six children, he benefited from provisional freedom, but removed his electronic anklet after the conviction. His arrest warrant, issued on July 1 last year, remains pending compliance. , he has a rifle and a pistol recorded in his name.
On Wednesday (12), the opposition parliamentarians took his wife, Vanessa Vieira, and their children to the House to ask for “mercy” to Motta.
“My husband was arrested on January 8. He was sentenced to 14 years, but did not commit any crime. There is no proof. There is no DNA, no video, no photo, no recognition of witness, no weapons, There is nothing, “she told the press.
Despite being inside the Planalto Palace on the day of the attacks, Ezekiel’s defense has been argued from the beginning that he traveled to Brasilia – I was hired to return a rental car by a insurance company – and that he had no notion of that the depredations would occur.
In testimony, he said he would return the car on Monday, January 9. Upon arriving in Brasilia, he said in the statement, approached the ministries’ terrace, parked the car on the right, and saw a police corridor and a grid to enter the three powers area. A policeman, he said, asked if he wanted to get in, and he replied yes.
In the process, they are considered witnesses to security forces, such as police and military personnel who made the institutional security of the Planalto Palace, who report that Ezekiel was among the people who participated in the depredation of the Executive building.
However, when judged by the (Federal Supreme Court), the decision was not unanimous among the ministers. The rapporteur, he proposed the penalty of 14 years, and was followed by most ministers.
According to him, despite reporting that it was to Brasilia to return the leased vehicle, “the document attached by the defense itself shows that its version does not proceed, as the contract indicates the city of Ji-Paraná as a place of return.”
“Thus, it is concluded that he accompanied his own will to the horde who moved to the Praça dos Three Powers and damaged the buildings, participating in a manifestation of support for the intervention of the Armed Forces.”
Other defeated ministers, such as Luis Roberto Barroso, Cristiano Zanin and Edson Fachin, proposed minor penalties. He has already voted for acquittal for lack of evidence.
“Those individuals cannot be held responsible for whom there is no evidence that they have taken part in any act of vandalism directly,” Mendonça said in his vote.
“The use of a general formula to impute all accused in the afternoon of January 8 The full responsibility for all acts of vandalism is neither adequate nor fair, and cannot dispense with the verification of the filming of buildings of buildings and the Identification of what each defendant did, or the note, by witnesses. “
His defense used a similar argument in the process. “[A decisão] Failed to individualize the defendant’s conduct, treating him generally and presuming his participation in a criminal context that, in fact, is not configured, “said lawyer Andrielle Bernardes Lima.
Sought by the report, Ezequiel’s defense did not speak until the publication of this report.
In Congress, Bolsonarists have been enjoying recent speech by Hugo Motta to seek support for the amnesty PL. The parliamentarian, who had been avoiding commenting on the theme during the pre-election period in the House, the mayor also questioned and pointed to a “certain imbalance” in the penalties imposed by the STF on some of those involved.
