Mauro Cid Begins Two-Year Open-Regime Sentence After STF Hearing

His lawyers seek to have the punishment declared served by counting past detention and restrictions, a request now before Alexandre de Moraes.

Overview

  • At an admonitory hearing on November 3, Cid had his electronic ankle monitor removed and formally began serving his sentence in the open regime.
  • The court imposed night home confinement from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., full confinement on weekends, a ban on leaving the Brasília judicial district, and weekly reporting to the Federal District’s executions court.
  • He is prohibited from using social media, possessing firearms or related registrations, traveling abroad, and he must surrender his passports and avoid contact with other defendants in the related cases.
  • The STF’s 1st Panel convicted him of attempting to abolish the democratic order by violent means; he received a two-year term and did not appeal, which made his conviction final earlier than others.
  • Cid’s defense petitioned to extinguish the sentence by crediting prior detention and cautions; Moraes already ordered preventive custody time deducted on October 30, and appeals by other convicted figures, including Jair Bolsonaro, are scheduled for November 7–14.
