The investigation was handed over to the Federal Court on Wednesday the 13th, according to information from the PF headquarters in Brasilia. However, the delegate responsible for the investigation, Rodrigo Morais, said that the report is inconclusive and may still change. The reason is that an expert examination by telephone has not yet been carried out by Adélio’s lawyer in the case, Zanone Manuel de Oliveira Júnior.

On February 28, 2019, at the request of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB), Judge Néviton Guedes, of the Federal Regional Court of the First Region (TRF-1), suspended the investigation by the Federal Police in the that the search and apprehension against the lawyer Zanone Manuel de Oliveira.

In June of last year, after the end of the first investigation, opened the day of the attack, Judge Bruno Savino, of the Federal Court in Juiz de Fora, acquitted Adélio Bispo after considering him inexplicable for having psychiatric problems.

The magistrate, in the decision, also converted the author of the attack to preventive detention into provisional detention for an indefinite period. “Since imputability excludes guilt, the conduct of the accused, although typical and anti-legal, cannot be punished for not being legally reprehensible, since the accused suffers from a mental illness that has suppressed his ability to understand the unlawful character of the made and determine according to this knowledge, “said the magistrate, in prayer.

The attack took place during the Bolsonaro campaign in the central region of Juiz de Fora, when the candidate was carried on his shoulders by supporters. The candidate was then hit in the abdomen. After the sentence, as president, Bolsonaro said he would appeal the decision, which did not happen. The Federal Public Ministry also did not appeal.

In the sentence, the judge also says that the medical examination carried out concluded that Adélio “has a persistent delusional disorder”, that “the criminal conduct was a direct consequence of an active mental illness” and that the presence of “psychotic symptoms prevented him from understanding the anti-legality of their conduct. ”

Even after the sentence, President Bolsonaro insisted on the thesis that Adélio acted under command. The episode entered into a clash between the head of the Executive Branch and the then Minister of Justice, Sérgio Moro, who resigned from his post on April 24 of this year after raising suspicions that Bolsonaro was trying to interfere with the Federal Police. The president hinted that the investigations into the Adélio case did not progress due to the lack of action by the PF command.

The second investigation, delivered yesterday to Justice, was opened on September 25, 19 days after the attack. The investigations, according to PF sources heard at the time, already indicated that Adélio Bispo had acted alone. However, the decision to open another investigation came about because the previous one started from the arrest of a flagrant crime, with a shorter period of completion.

“The option to open a second investigation was so that it would be possible to work more calmly, since he is a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic who is the leader of the voting intention surveys,” said one of the sources at the time. . “The research, however, points to the performance of what we call the ‘lone wolf’,” he added.

Adélio Bispo’s lawyer in the lawsuit, Zanone Manuel de Oliveira Júnior, said on Thursday 14 that the judicial decision after the first investigation already made it clear that his client had acted alone. “All psychiatrists came to the same conclusion. Medicine does not lie. Doctors converged on one point, Adélio’s mental problems,” he said.

Regarding the experience on his cell phone, the lawyer says he believes the procedure has already been carried out. “On the day of the search and seizure, I handed the cell phone over to the PF,” he said. The operation in which the lawyer’s team was seized took place on December 21, 2018. Zanone says the investigation, whether or not it has been carried out, will not alter the investigation. “It has nothing,” he says.
