The Attorney General of the Republic, on Tuesday (1st) the minister, of the Supreme Federal Court), the decree of the pre-trial detention of Leonardo Rodrigues de Jesus, who is defendant for involvement in the coup attacks of 8 January 2023.
Indian announced to be in last Wednesday (26), to. Gilberto Ackerman has been on the run in Argentina since April 2024, as the UOL showed.
Still in January 2023, Alexandre de Moraes had determined the seizure and cancellation of Indian passports. Gonet argues that the purpose of passport cancellation is to prohibit the defendant’s escape from the country.
The order of Moraes did not expressly prohibit the defendant from leaving the country, and there is no arrest warrant against him.
The Indian defense was summoned by Moraes to explain and confirmed his trip to the neighboring country.

“In evading to Argentina, Leonardo Rodrigues de Jesus deliberately disregarded an alternative precautionary measure to prison, to highlight his insufficiency, the neglect of the application of criminal law and disrespect to decisions issued by the Federal Supreme Court,” Gonet said.
In the Supreme Petition, Gonet states that on January 19, 2023, the minister decreed precautionary measures against him, among them the cancellation of all passports issued on behalf of the defendant, including the adoption of the necessary measures to prevent the issuance of new documents.
“The ontology of the precautionary measure of cancellation of passport aims to prohibit the defendant of the defendant of the country,” said Gonet.
The transgression of the measure would therefore be, according to the attorney general, besides being unjustified, reason for pre-trial detention.
In the case, his lawyers denied all the crimes pointed out in the complaint of (Attorney General’s Office). They maintain that the defendant “did not fund or sponsored” the attacks on a coup d’état, as shown the breach of bank secrecy of the president’s nephew.

In the trial that made Indian defendant, this year, in the first class of the court, the rapporteur was accompanied by Carmen Lúcia, Flávio Dino, Cristiano Zanin and Luiz Fux.
“The accused, as narrated in the complaint, not only participated in the undemocratic manifestations but also actively urged and collaborated on the acts of depredation that occurred on 01/08/23 against the headquarters of the three powers,” Moraes said in the vote.
He is responsible for: armed criminal association, attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup d’état, qualified damage and deterioration of listed heritage.
