Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Federal Supreme Court has ruled that former Deputy Roberto Jefferson, President of PTB and President Jair Bolsonaro’s ally, the subject of a digital police investigation, should return to prison as soon as he is discharged from the hospital. Samaritano Barra. The politician finished his treatment and on the 5th received permission to leave the hospital, but remains in place.

The decision was made on Wednesday 13, after the hospital questioned the Federal Police about the procedures for transferring the politician. Alexander supported Jefferson’s pre-trial detention, which was to return to the penitentiary where he was held prior to treatment in Bangu.

The magistrate ordered the hospital to immediately send the STF paperwork regarding the release of the PTB president, noting that the policy would be taken to the prison by the Federal Police, with the electronic ankle bracelet removed properly.

In the resolution, the Supreme Minister pointed out that the “factual basis” described in the decision supporting the preliminary detention of Roberto Jefferson remained the same, “at this procedural moment there were no reasons indicating the possibility of canceling the preventive detention, even by taking various precautions”.

The politician’s defense called to speak, said Jefferson’s situation was still “unstable,” even though the politician was able to get a discharge from the hospital. In the same vein, the lawyers of the President of the PTB also supported the request to replace the preventive measure with house arrest.

Roberto Jefferson was transferred to a Samaritan hospital following the decision of Alexander de Moraes in early September. In doing so, the magistrate took into account the allegations of the defense about the state of health of the politician, the positive opinion of the General Prosecutor’s Office, as well as the medical report of the secretariat of the administration of the penitentiary system of Rio de Janeiro. The document stated that the PTB president was “with a urinary tract infection besides complaints of low back pain” and that “there was not enough medical treatment in the penitentiary hospital at this time.”

At the time, despite authorizing Jefferson’s treatment, Alexander supported the pre-trial detention of the PTB president as “necessary and necessary to ensure public order and prosecution.” The minister recalled that even after the arrest of the former deputy earlier this month, he “continued to practice criminal behavior, even continuing to incite the population to commit crimes against the authorities of the republic, inciting serious aggression against STF senators and ministers. , in particular, in the events scheduled for September 7 “.
