The Attorney General of the Republic, defended on Friday (28) that the hairdresser Débora Rodrigues dos Santos-in the attacks of January 8, 2023-be transferred to house arrest.
According to Gonet, the change is reasonable in the face of the minister’s request for view (more time) in the trial that may condemn Deborah.
Deborah’s case has had a lot of repercussion, especially after Fux’s initiative. Amid the analysis of the PGR complaint about the coup plot, the minister commented on the case, spoke of concern about the issue of the dosimetry of the penalties imposed by the court to the defendants of January 8, 2023, that is, how long each accused may face if he is convicted.
This Friday, at an event at UERJ (State University of Rio de Janeiro), the president of, said that in cases such as Deborah, Brazilians range from “indignation to penalty”.
“Brazil has the characteristic that, when the episodes happen, people have a deep indignation. And then, as time goes by, they get sorry. We went from indignation to penalty,” said Barroso.
Gonet defended house arrest for Deborah “at least until the judgment of the deed, in compliance with the principles of protection of motherhood and childhood and the best interest of the minor.”
“Notwithstanding the permanence of the authorizing elements of precautionary custody, the closure of the procedural instruction and the suspension of the judgment of the deed, with unpredictability regarding the delivery of a definitive judgment […] recommend replacing preventive arrest for house arrest, “says Gonet
Gonet’s demonstration was made in response to a request from Deborah’s defense filed with the Supreme Court (STF) on Monday (24).
The lawyers asked for the woman’s release while she was waiting for the trial. In case of negative, that the possibility of house arrest were evaluated, in respect of the “principle of the intranscendence of the penalty, the principle of integral protection of the child and the right to human dignity and family life.”
Gonet disagrees with the revocation of pre -trial detention. For him, Deborah’s legal situation is unchanged, with no new facts capable of changing the decisions of the Supreme that denied her release.
“The pre -trial detention decreed is supported by elements that translate the concrete risk to public order and the guarantee of application criminal law, notably before the proven participation of the defendant in the material execution of undemocratic acts of 8.1.2023, in the Praça dos Três Powers, in Brasilia/DF,” he says.
The prosecutor, however, agreed with house arrest because Deborah had two minor children. “In this context, the precautionary measures […] They are sufficient to safeguard the integrity of home custody and ensure the guarantee of public order and the application of criminal law, “he adds.
The decision is up to the rapporteur of the case, Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
The first class of the Supreme began on Friday (21) the trial of Deborah, in which case being used by allies of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in her pressure by amnesty. Minister Alexandre de Moraes voted for the sentence to 14 years in prison, and Flávio Dino accompanied his colleague.
Minister Luiz Fux, however, asked for view and announced last Wednesday (26) that will suggest a revision of the case. He said the penalties provided for in the state crimes legislation are very long.
“We judge under violent emotion after the January 8 tragedy was verified. I went to my former Gabinet, that Minister Rosa [Weber] It was my vice president, I saw burnt table, burnt papers. But I think the judges in your life always have to reflect on mistakes and the hits, “he said.
“Under the toga beats a man’s heart, so we need to have this ability to reflect,” he added.
The hairdresser said in testimony that she did not invade any building at the time and that “the heat of the situation” caused it to act without full dominion of her mental faculties. So he asked for forgiveness for the episode that led her to prison and said he will never repeat him again.
The speech of Deborah, 39, took place last November, during an instructional hearing whose recording was attached to the file on Wednesday (26), when the confidentiality was removed about the process by Moraes.
At the hearing, Deborah stated that a man she didn’t know had already begun the graffiti of the phrase “lost, Mané” in the statue called “The Justice” and asked for her help. According to her, the man had already thought of the sentence and had already done the letter ‘P’ when he asked her to continue.
Deborah was reported by Gonet in May 2024. The PGR says she “participated in acts of damage and destruction of goods specially protected by administrative act.”
She is accused of committing crimes against the Democratic Rule of Law and coup d’état under the justification of having acted in a multitudinous form – a concept of criminal law that refers to crimes committed by a rioting multitude.
The PGR understands that, in this type of crime, each person who acted in the attack on the headquarters of the powers had the same goal: to force the Armed Forces to give a coup against Lula’s (PT) management in the Presidency of the Republic.
Following this thesis, Gonet called for Deborah’s conviction not because she wrote in the statue “The Justice” the phrase “lost, Mané”. For the PGR, the sentence would be because the woman participated in the attack on powers and encouraged a democratic rupture.
