This Saturday (30), Federal Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes decided to expand external security at Jair Bolsonaro’s house. The former president meets house arrest and wears electronic anklet.
The Federal Police had suggested that security be expanded to the interior of Bolsonaro’s residence due to a risk of a possible escape from the former president. However, Paulo Gonet, Attorney General of the Republic, disagreed with the idea, noting that there is no evidence of a critical security situation inside the house.
The final decision was with Moraes, which evaluated the positions presented on both sides. Last Tuesday (26), Moraes ordered the Federal District Penal Police to monitor Bolsonaro’s residence due to the possibility of an escape. According to the PF, the electronic anklet alone would not be enough to avoid this type of occurrence.
With this, Moraes highlighted the argument of the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), which pointed to the existence of blind points on the sides and back of Bolsonaro’s residence, due to neighboring properties. The information was provided by the State Secretariat of Penitentiary Administration of the Federal District.
In addition, the minister authorized surveys to be performed on all vehicles leaving Bolsonaro’s house, determining that the inspections are properly documented, with the identification of vehicles, drivers and passengers. Should the reports of the surveys be sent to the court? daily.
Although Moraes recognized the need for measures that “preserve the privacy of other residents of the residence,” he emphasized that house arrest implies a “partial restriction of freedom”, which inevitably affects the privacy and intimacy of the custodian. Otherwise, this restriction would lose its effectiveness.
