The minister, of the (Supreme Federal Court), authorized 19 elderly people convicted of the coup acts of January 8, 2023, including the Bolsonarist known as , to serve their sentence at home, using an electronic ankle bracelet.
The decisions were made on Friday (24). Some of them are under judicial secrecy. The Supreme Court stated on Monday (27) that humanitarian house arrest was granted to the defendants due to exceptional circumstances, especially linked to health issues.
“According to the rapporteur, the decisions consider the high clinical risk of convicts, including the need for complex surgeries and the possibility of infections in the prison environment”, says the court’s statement.
During house arrest, the defendants will not be able to access social networks or communicate with others being investigated for the coup plot. The only visits allowed will be those of lawyers and parents, siblings, children and grandchildren previously authorized by Moraes.
They will also need approval from the minister, rapporteur of the court case, to leave the home to receive medical care, with the exception of emergency situations that must be justified within 48 hours after the episode.
Furthermore, Moraes ordered the suspension of the convicts’ passports and prohibited them from leaving the country. House arrest will be reevaluated every two months.
The defendants benefiting from the measure were sentenced to sentences ranging from 13 to 17 years in prison for crimes such as violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup d’état, qualified damage, deterioration of listed property and armed criminal association.
Maria de Fátima Mendonça Jacinto, known as Fátima de Tubarão in reference to her city, in Santa Catarina, was sentenced to 17 years in prison. She has already served 3 years and 10 months of her sentence.
The elderly woman gained popularity on the networks for appearing in images inside the Palácio do Planalto on the day of the coup attacks. In one of the videos, she alludes to Moraes and states: “We’re going to war, it’s war now. Let’s get Xandão [em referência a Moraes] now”.
Moraes’ decision came about a week before the decision to reduce the sentences of those convicted of a coup d’état. The joint session in Congress was scheduled by the president of , Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), for Thursday (30), after pressure from Bolsonarists.
