Alexandre de Moraesminister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), asked the 1st Army Division of the Eastern Military Command, where Walter Braga Netto is arrested in Rio de Janeiroin relation to visits made on unplanned days in the detention regulations, in an order published on Wednesday (25).
According to Moraes, the report sent by the Command on March 20, with the general’s activities in prison, indicated four visits outside the scheduled days in the regulations, which would be Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, from 2pm to 4pm, with a limit of 3 (three) people.
“Monday, 3/9 (unauthorized visitor); (ii) Friday, 3/13 (family members); and (iii) Saturday, 3/14 (family members). Furthermore, the report indicates religious assistance on Wednesday, March 11th, without prior judicial authorization“, says the document signed by Moraes.
In February this year, Braga Netto’s defense.
“It is General Braga Netto’s right to remain linked to social reality and there is no obstacle in the legislation to this happening through monitoring news channels. This possibility gains even more relevance given the fact that the Petitioner is the only custodian of the military unit, which imposes on him a routine without the establishment of interpersonal relationships and, therefore, without any social integration“, says Braga Netto’s defense.
Therefore, “authorization is required for access to cable television, whose hiring, installation (considering the infrastructure available in the military unit) and maintenance costs will be fully supported by General Braga Netto himself”.
Graduation
As for graduation, the defense points out a list of courses offered by Faculdade Estácio, but without identifying which one the former minister would have chosen. The list includes degrees from 2 to 4 years, in the most diverse areas of graduation.
Walter Braga Netto was sentenced to 26 years in prison in a closed regime, for the crimes of armed criminal organization, attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup d’état, qualified damage through violence and serious threat and deterioration of listed property.
He had already been in prison since December 2024, accused of obstructing the investigation into the coup attempt to prevent the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
