The minister, a member of, spoke in favor of the conviction of Nelson Ribeiro Fonseca Júnior, who is accused of stole a soccer ball autographed by Neymar during the antidemocratic events on January 8. Moraes proposed a 17 -year sentence of imprisonment for the defendant. According to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), the theft occurred when Nelson invaded the Museum of the Chamber of Deputies. The defendant claimed that he found the ball to the ground and caught it with the intention of protecting it, but returned it to the Sorocaba Military Police in Sao Paulo, only 20 days after the invasion. Moraes pointed out that late return compromises the justification presented and indicates intentional possession.
Accusations against Nelson include qualified theft, deterioration of listed heritage, armed criminal association, attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, Coup of State and qualified damage. The defendant’s defense argues that the criminal action must be considered null, citing an alleged violation of the principle of broad defense.

Other ministers still need to comment on the case, which may influence the outcome of the situation.
