The (Attorney General’s Office) spoke on Friday (29) against the need to keep police inside (PL), as there was.
PGR’s understanding was sent to the Supreme Court (STF), which judges Bolsonaro for the coup plot. STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes, rapporteur of the action, must make a decision on the subject.
“I note that there is no critical security situation inside the house,” says the document signed by the Attorney General, Paulo Gonet.
The Attorney General writes, however, that PF’s concern that Bolsonaro escapes is based on support.
“The investigations led to the discovery of a draft asylum request to the president of Argentina,” he says. “It is also known that the former president has already shown proximity to leaders from foreign countries, having easier access to embassies, as seen, regarding Hungary, at another time.”
Federal Police found that Bolsonaro to Argentine president Javier Milei. The document was created on February 10, 2024, two days after Bolsonaro was searching for the largest operation on the coup plot. Two days after the draft production, the former president went to the Embassy of Hungary.
It is still cited by Gonet that Bolsonaro “has familiar and supporters who live abroad, where they spread that the former president undergoes criminal proceedings to refuse legitimacy,” noting that they have appealed “unqualified pressures for the process to be summarily extinguished”.
The son of the former president and federal deputy, and has been acting with Donald Trump government authorities for measures in defense of his father. Former combatant Paulo Figueiredo, also in the United States, participates in this mobilization.
Trump has already announced expansion of tariffs to Brazil when he quoted a supposed persecution of Bolsonaro, and sanctioned Moraes.
Eduardo was indicted by the Federal Police for an attempt to coerce the processes in the Supreme Court, which has a process of his posture.
The director general of, Andrei Rodrigues, had suggested on Tuesday (26) the entry of a team of police inside the house of the former president for surveillance 24 hours.
The chief of the PF argued in a letter sent to what this would be the best way to ensure that Bolsonaro would not try to escape the eve of his trial by the coup plot, scheduled to start next Tuesday, September 2.
It had also determined on Tuesday for the Federal District Penal Police to monitor 24 hours a day the address of – already active. The measure would be necessary, according to the minister, to rule out the risks that the former president tries to escape.
According to Andrei, the presence of police near Bolsonaro’s house would be insufficient for two reasons.
The first, which the electronic anklet worn by Bolsonaro works online and depends on a signal from the telephone operator to issue the defendant’s movement signs.
The second, which would need to monitor all the flow of vehicles at the residence of Bolsonaro and nearby neighbors to ensure that the escape inspection would be effective.
According to Andrei, there is a precedent that allows the permanence of 24 hours police in the house of defendants in house arrest. The director lifted only one case, that of retired judge Nicolau dos Santos Neto. In 2004, by order of the STJ (Superior Court of Justice), he was under house arrest under the custody of the PF.
Andrei’s request occurred after Moraes’s decision on monitoring. Minutes after the PF manifestation, the election was sent for analysis of the PGR, which now manifests itself.
Gonet stated, in this Friday’s order, that the greatest protection in the surroundings of the house is justified where the former president meets house arrest, “as the street where the house is situated and even from the exit of the condominium.”
For him, the visual accompaniment of the agents would be sufficient to avoid escape from the former president. “These agents, however, should have their access to these areas free of obstruction in case of foreboding.” “Non -face -to -face, real -time and without recording” monitoring from the house’s external area, writes Gonet, “also presents itself as an alternative to caution.”
After the minister he considered that he failed to comply with a precautionary measure that prohibited him from using social, own or third parties, when he appeared in VideoChamada in pockets.
In the isolated period, the former president has received a visit from an ally a day. He still finds his lawyers and family members more often, who have no restrictions on access to the residence in Brasilia.
A prayer group linked to Michelle Bolsonaro is also on Wednesdays.
Bolsonaro’s defense asked the Supreme to revise house arrest. The idea is to take Moraes’s decision to referendum in the first class of the Supreme Court. The minister, however, has not yet referred the case to evaluate the other colleagues.
