Collor Tells STF Ankle Monitor Went Dark for 36 Hours Due to Battery Confusion

Overview

• Collor’s lawyers told Minister Alexandre de Moraes the May 2–3 outage was an involuntary incident caused by misleading information about the device’s battery.
• An official Alagoas report says the monitor was off from 9:05 on May 2 to 21:23 on May 3 because the battery ran out, totaling about 36 hours.
• The defense says no audible or visual low‑battery alerts occurred, the aide was notified on May 3, and charging immediately restored real‑time tracking.
• Moraes warned that violating monitoring rules can trigger preventive detention or loss of house arrest; Collor has been on humanitarian home confinement since May 1 due to age and comorbidities.
• Alagoas sent the report to the STF about five months late, citing lack of the minister’s email, as Moraes also pressed Filipe Martins to explain a one‑hour GPS loss on October 23 within five days under threat of immediate arrest.
