Moraes: conduct of prisoners for coup acts will be individualized

The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre Moraes said today (9) that the accusations against those investigated for the anti-democratic acts of January 8 are being individualized. The minister’s statement was given as a result of criticism of the STF over the alleged analysis of conduct in general in investigations. Moraes, who is the rapporteur for the investigation, said that the Court complied with all the procedures provided for by law in the treatment of prisoners. According to the minister, custody hearings were held, the provisional freedoms were analyzed and subpoenas were sent for the prior defense of the accused. “The STF is analyzing it in detail and individually so that, quickly, those who committed a crime are held accountable under the terms of the law. Those who committed a lesser crime will have a lighter sanction, those who committed a more serious crime will have a more serious sanction”, he said. Balance During the Court session, Moraes also presented data on the progress of the investigations. According to the minister, 919 complaints were made by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) against those investigated. Of the total, 700 complaints involve the conduct of incitement to crime, incitement of animosity by the Armed Forces against democratic institutions and criminal association, and 219 are about crimes of qualified damage, abolition of the Democratic State of Law and coup d’état. As for the 1,400 arrested after the attacks, 520 men and 82 women are still being held. The others are free and comply with precautionary measures, such as electronic anklet monitoring. On Monday (6), Moraes and the President of the Supreme Court, Minister Rosa Weber, inspected the Papuda prison and the Colmeia Women’s Penitentiary, in the Federal District, where those accused of participating in the acts of January 8 are being held. .
