Delgatti Seeks STF Sentence Cut Under Lula’s Christmas Clemency Decree

Overview

• Defense attorney Ariovaldo Moreira filed the request on January 14, asking Minister Alexandre de Moraes to apply the indulto natalino’s commutation provision to Walter Delgatti Neto.
• Delgatti is serving 8 years and 3 months for invading the CNJ systems in 2023 and inserting a false arrest order against Minister Moraes in a case linked to ex-deputy Carla Zambelli.
• The presidential decree allows a one-quarter reduction of the remaining sentence for recidivists who had served at least one-quarter by December 25, 2025.
• The defense says Delgatti reached the one-quarter mark on August 24, 2025, and argues his crimes—computer intrusion and ideological falsehood—are not among the decree’s exclusions.
• Moraes recently approved Delgatti’s move to the semi-open regime, citing good conduct and a favorable PGR opinion, and the defense says a grant could enable progression to an open regime as soon as next month while Zambelli remains detained in Italy awaiting an extradition ruling.
