The Federal District Criminal Court (VEP-TJDFT) allowed the transfer of former head of the National Social Security Institute (INSS) Alessandro Stefanotto to the General Staff Chamber.
Currently, Stefanotto is imprisoned in the vulnerable wing of one of the buildings of the Babuda Prison complex. After receiving permission, he must migrate to the 19th Military Police Battalion unit of the Defense Forces – a building known as Babodina.
The transfer is expected to take place by the end of this week, the column reported In Mira.

The VEP-DF decision was motivated by the fact that Alessandro Stefanotto was a member of the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (AGU).
The Statute of the Law stipulates, as a right for lawyers, “not to be detained in prison, before a final judgment is issued, except in the General Staff Room, with decent facilities and amenities, as recognized by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and failing that, under house arrest.”
At Babodenna, there are accommodations for prisoners – who tend to be military personnel – and resting places for prime ministers on duty.
The covered area is 54.76 square metres, with a bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, living room and an outdoor area of 10.07 square metres.
The four-person unit has a refrigerator, hot water shower, safes, a double bed and a TV. Five meals a day are provided: breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and supper.
The goal of the National Front
Alessandro Stefanotto, a career employee of the organization, took over the presidency of the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) in July 2023, in the first year of the Lula III government.
He was removed from his position in April this year, after he was the target of a Federal Police (PF) operation against alleged pension transfer fraud through unauthorized deductions by beneficiaries. The scheme was revealed by Capitals.
Stefanotto was arrested on November 13 during a PF operation investigating Farra do INSS, a scheme of illegal deductions on retirement and pensions.
The former president of the institute is 54 years old, and he assumed the presidency of the body at the age of 52 years, in a career that lasted 24 years. Before coming to the top of power, he served as Federal Prosecutor and Director of Budget, Finance and Logistics.
Stefanuto is from São Paulo (SP) and graduated in law from McKinsey University. He also served in the Army and Navy and worked for the Federal Revenue Service.
