Federal Court orders arrest of protesters who acted against Alexandre de Moraes in SP | Saint Paul

The engineer Antonio Carlos Bronzeri, 64, and the autonomous Jurandir Alencar, 58, are accused in a lawsuit in the Federal Court for the case and are responsible for the crimes of threat, defamation, injury and alteration of public order.

Arrest warrants can only be executed 48 hours after the elections on Sunday (29), when the vote for the second round of the municipal elections will take place, because the law prohibits arrests, except for flagrant exceptions, during the electoral period .

The defendants were already under house arrest for the charges against Alexandre de Moraes but, according to federal judge Bárbara de Lima Seppi, assistant to the 4th Federal Criminal Court, who now ordered their admission to prison, the two breached the rules imposed by the Justice. and they were not found in their homes.

TO G1, or The engineer said that he was at his residence the entire time and that there was an information conflict between the State Courts (where the case started) and the Federal Courts (where the case is now).

“I have always been at home, but the State Court ordered me to stay home and the Federal Court tried to quote me at the camp and could not find me. I don’t know who to follow. There are two processes running at the same time and who is competent to judge me? “Bronzeri told G1.

The engineer said that he tried to surrender to the Federal Police but that, due to the electoral period, which prohibits the execution of arrest warrants in the days before the elections and up to 3 days later, he was not arrested.

In the decision that confirmed the execution of the arrest warrant, released on Thursday (26), the judge said that it was the defendants themselves who caused the alleged “confusion” and that “there is no contradiction in the sentence handed down, nor influence or motivation policy by any body. ”

The two defendants have been under house arrest since June, when the lawsuit was transferred by the State Court to the Federal Court. In State Justice they were already responding as accused of the crimes, but the magistrates understood that, as Alexandre de Moraes is a minister of the STF and there was, in theory, an attack on his honor, the case should go to the Federal Justice.

Since then, it was decided that they would stay home all day. But, the judge says, for 4 months they were not found by policemen and sheriffs who tried to find them to deliver summons.

After more than four months have passed and innumerable steps have been taken to simply summon the accused, this has NOT happened so far in relation to ANTÔNIO CARLOS, so the file was reviewed by the Federal Public Ministry to express your opinion “said the magistrate.

According to the judge, the two were given “as an alternative to deprivation of liberty in ordinary prisons,” the possibility of being placed under house arrest, “where they should be at ALL TIMES”, which did not happen, he said.

Judge Barbara Seppi cites in the sentence at least 4 occasions in which both were searched at their homes, in Osasco, in Greater São Paulo, and in Mandaqui, in the North Zone of the capital, and that they were not found.

“There is a breach of the accused of the judicial decisions, which made the process unfeasible for almost four months precisely because they were not at home- WHEN FULFILLING WITH THE DOMESTIC PRISONS,” the judge wrote when determining the jails.

In the process, both defendants are already prohibited from maintaining contact with the minister, personally or indirectly, by any means of communication, having to maintain a minimum distance of 200 meters from Alexandre de Moraes.

On May 2, some 15 people gathered with Brazilian flags, posters and a speaker and shouted offenses against Alexandre de Moraes and slogans against the Supreme Court in front of the minister’s house in SP. At that time, the engineer and the self-employed were arrested in flagrante delicto, but after paying bail they were released.

A 35-year-old businessman, who was also arrested during the protest, was charged with disorderly conduct and, after recording the detailed term, was released.

The Public Ministry denounced both in the State Court, where they were accused in the same month of May. But in June, due to a request from the Federal Public Ministry (MPF), the case was transferred to the Federal Court.

The protest came after Moraes suspended the appointment of Alexandre Ramagem, appointed by Bolsonaro, to the general direction of the Federal Police. The minister alleged a misuse of purpose, as there were indications that the president would use the position to collect lawsuit information.

Ramage, who is a friend of the Bolsonaro family, was chosen by the President of the Republic to head the PF, replacing Maurício Valeixo. Bolsonaro’s removal of Valeixo led to the departure of then-Justice Minister Sergio Moro, who accused the president of trying to interfere politically with the Federal Police.
