The Federal Regional Court of the 2nd Region (TRF-2) authorized that the former deputy and former PTB president, Roberto Jefferson, to comply with house arrest, but the decision has no immediate effect.
Jefferson is still in prison for one in the Supreme Court (STF), which prevents his immediate transfer home.
The TRF-2 decision concerns the process in which Jefferson is responsible for attacking Federal Police agents with gunfire and grenades in 2022, during the execution of an arrest warrant in Commander Levy Gasparian (RJ). At the time, two police officers were injured.
However, the former parliamentarian was also sentenced by the Supreme Court to nine years, a month and five days in prison for involvement in the attempted coup d’état, if it adds to a pre-trial detention order decreed by Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The Supreme’s decision, however, is still in force and prevents Jefferson from going to the home regime.
TRF-2 authorization was based on a report by the Rio de Janeiro Secretariat of Penitentiary Administration (Seap), which attested to the “extreme weakness” of the former deputy, aggravated by complications of an infection.
If house arrest is implemented in the future, Jefferson will be forbidden to use social networks, leave the state of Rio de Janeiro and have revoked the right to carry weapons.
