Ministers of the (Supreme Federal Court) have evaluated that an arrest of the former president () for by not being fulfilled in a barracks.
The assessment starts from a reading in the supreme that one could precipitate movements from the former president’s supporters in an area near the reissue.
Given the fear, two possibilities began to be considered behind the scenes. One is the reserve of a special cell in (DF). The Superintendence of the Federal District is another alternative.
The Federal Police have already left a special cell ready at its regional headquarters of Brasilia by precaution. The decision was made based on the possibility of the former president being the target of a pre-trial detention.
The detention in a PF Superintendence would be a way for the Supreme to give the same treatment to Bolsonaro that the Federal Court gave the President (PT). The petista was arrested for 580 days at the headquarters of the corporation in Curitiba (PR), convicted of corruption in the wake of Lava Jato.
The special cell in the PF is a makeshift room for individual custody, with bathroom, bed, table and television. They are characteristics similar to the space occupied by Lula during their detention.
Already Papuda has been experiencing a crisis of overcrowding for over a decade. A report produced by the Federal District Public Prosecution Service showed that at the end of 2024 there were 16,151 prisoners at the Penitentiary Center.
The number represents a overcrowding of 48%, with a deficit of 5,273 vacancies. The prosecutor also says it found, during inspections, cells for eight people occupied by 25.
“The inmates divided the beds; some slept in improvised nets, and others in mattresses on the floor. Due to limited space, some mattresses were positioned near the bath and toilets, which led to contact with moisture, causing mold reports and unhealthy conditions,” the report says.
In the prison scenario in Papuda, Bolsonaro would be entitled to a special room. The most recent precedent is former President Fernando Collor de Mello, who spent a week detained in one in Maceió (AL).
The minister allowed Collor to choose which city would serve his sentence. The options were Maceió and Brasilia, and the former president chose the capital of Alagoas.
A week after being arrested, Collor was able to be, on the grounds of having health problems and advanced age. He has, and Moraes considered that the treatment of the disease in the prison would not be adequate.
Jair Bolsonaro is 70 years old and faces health problems. He has been suffering from. He has done medical examinations in recent weeks to investigate possible pneumonia. The result, according to his doctors, presented.
The health situation of the former president should also be considered in defining his eventual conviction. A Supreme Minister told the Sheet that Bolsonaro’s permanence in house arrest is not ruled out.
The army will be one of the main affected by the judgment of the central core of the coup plot. The first class of the process begins the analysis of the process next Tuesday (2) and foresees its conclusion on September 12.
Six of the eight defendants are members of the Armed Forces; five are from the army.
A general officer told the Sheet that the army will not leave cells prepared to comply with possible penalties. Force has decided to wait for STF decisions to define the ways to make.
He points out that the armed forces officers are entitled to special arrest, such as an individual staff room. The Planalto Military Command and the 11th Military Region of the Federal District are able to receive possible convicts.
In the case of other military defendants-the generals Augusto Heleno, Paulo Sérgio Nogueira and Walter Braga Netto, Admiral Almir Garnier and Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid-eventual convictions can cause the loss of posts and military patents.
In practice, officers sentenced to more than two years of imprisonment are considered “fictitious dead” by the Armed Forces. As a result, they lose the special arrest benefit.
Army Commander General Tomás Paiva has been talking to Alexandre de Moraes to accompany the processes. The justification is that two thirds of the coup plot defendants are military, and you need to be informed to know the consequences of investigations into the barracks and their members.
