Martins' Defense Files Microsoft Logs to Challenge STF Arrest Over Alleged LinkedIn Violation

Overview

• On January 6, Martins' lawyers asked Minister Alexandre de Moraes to revoke his preventive detention and submitted Microsoft/LinkedIn records showing the last login on September 13, 2024.
• The data are presented as structured, auditable login logs with UTC timestamps, IP addresses, and user‑agent details.
• Moraes had ordered Martins' arrest after finding he breached a December 26 order that barred use of social networks, including through third parties.
• The defense previously acknowledged accessing the LinkedIn profile for legal strategy and now says the 2024 access was performed by a U.S.-based attorney, asserting no access or posts occurred after the injunction.
• Martins was sentenced in December to 21 years for an attempted coup, though the sentence is not being executed while appeals remain pending.
