Minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the return of equipment confiscated by the Federal Police (PF) from hacker Thiago Eliezer Martínez Santos, which was investigated on suspicion of involvement with MP Carla Zambelli in the invasion of the National Council of Justice (CNJ) system in 2023.
Moraes accepted Martinez’s request after a positive opinion from the National Front and the Public Prosecutor’s Office (PGR). In the application, the hacker said that he had not been charged by the National Police at the end of the investigations, which led to Zambelli being sentenced to 10 years in prison.

“It is important to highlight that, after a thorough investigation, Thiago Eliezer Martínez Santos was neither indicted by the police authority, nor reported by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF), with no evidence of his involvement in the commission of the crimes,” said Martínez’s defence.
In its opinion, the FN claimed that the cell phone, laptop and two hard drives seized from the hacker underwent forensic examination and no item was found indicating Martins’ participation in the invasion of the CNJ system.

“All expert procedures were successful in extracting the content and subsequently classifying it using the forensic software Indexer and Processor of Digital Evidence (IPED),” said the delegate in charge of the investigation, Fabio Shor.
Deadline for withdrawal
Therefore, the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court accepted the request and set a period of 30 days to remove the equipment. “In this specific case, there is a lack of interest in continuing the confiscation of the seized assets, as proven by the Federal Police, including that the seized devices have already been searched, and there is still no doubt as to the legal ownership of the assets,” Moraes said.
The minister said in the decision: “The aforementioned items must be removed within 30 (thirty) days, so I allow the equipment to be destroyed if it is not removed within that period.”
