Impeached deputy and former general director of Abin, Alexandre Ramagem gave testimony this Thursday (5) to the Federal Supreme Court (STF). The hearing was taken during the resumption of the criminal action involving crimes allegedly committed after its diploma in the Chamber: qualified damage and deterioration of property listed during the attempted coup d’état on January 8, 2023.
While Ramagem was a deputy, part of the action accusing him of crimes committed after his diploma was suspended by the Chamber, based on parliamentary immunity. With the revocation, in December 2025, the suspension was no longer valid. With this, Minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the resumption of the process in the STF against the former deputy.
According to reports, Alexandre Ramagem is in the United States. He would have left Brazil in September 2025, before being tried in the STF on charges of attempted coup d’état. Ramagem was sentenced to 16 years, 1 month and 15 days in prison under an initial closed regime.
In the statement, given to an assistant judge from Moraes’ office, Ramagem denied having used the First Mile program illegally to spy on opponents and critics of former president Jair Bolsonaro. The program is a cell phone monitoring and tracking system using geolocation, used to identify people’s movements based on telephone data.
