Judge Abby Ilharco Magalhães, of the 1st Federal Court of Três Rios (RJ), maintained this Thursday (26) the preventive detention of former federal deputy Roberto Jefferson, preventing it from being converted into precautionary measures. A document from the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPF) mentions the need for the defendant’s preventive detention to be reviewed every 90 days, otherwise it will have to be transformed into precautionary measures. “There are no new elements of conviction or factual change capable of modifying the conclusion due to the concrete need to maintain the defendant’s preventive detention with a view to maintaining the guarantee of public order”, wrote the judge in her decision. Jefferson had his preventive detention maintained, on Tuesday (24), by decision of the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes. The accused was arrested in flagrante delicto on October 23 of last year, after having made offenses to Justice Carmen Lúcia, of the STF. When the Federal Police agents went to comply with the decision of the STF, at Jefferson’s house, in Comendador Levy Gasparian, in the interior of the state, they were received with gunfire. The judge cites the high offensive potential of the weapons seized at the former congressman’s house, including grenades and restricted-use weapons, in addition to the number of shots fired at the Federal Police vehicle, between 50 and 60 shots. Three days after the attack on the federal police, Minister Alexandre de Moraes transformed Jefferson’s arrest into a preventive one.
