Summary
Filipe Martins, a former advisor to Bolsonaro, was placed under house arrest by the STF, accused of participating in a coup plot, after another convict tried to escape.
The former international advisor to the presidency of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, Filipe Martins, was under house arrest on the orders of the Minister of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes this Saturday 27. Filipe must be incarcerated at his home in Ponta Grossa (PR), according to information from GloboNews.
Martins’ arrest was ordered after Silvinei Vasques attempted to escape. On a social network, Jeffrey Chiquini, Filipe Martins’ lawyer, said that federal police agents were complying with an order from Moraes that would have ordered Filipe Martins’ house arrest. He called the measure taken against Bolsonaro’s former adviser “absurd” and said the defense would appeal.
Moraes’ decision was motivated by a desire to prevent the escape of others convicted of the coup plot. Silvinei’s escape attempt failed and he was arrested at an airport in Paraguay. He is expected to be transferred to Brasilia this Saturday.
The PF went to Filipe Martins’ home to inform him of the decision. He already wore an electronic ankle bracelet and was allowed to leave the house during the day. Today, this measure has been repealed.
Filipe Martins was sentenced to 21 years in prison for attempted coup d’état by the first chamber of the Federal Court (STF), during a trial held on December 16.
Other convicts who are still not serving a prison sentence because they have not exhausted their appeals will be notified this Saturday 27.
