Overview
- Alexandre de Moraes authorized Filipe Martins, who is under house arrest in Ponta Grossa, to travel to Brasília between December 8 and 10 to attend his own trial.
- The minister gave the defense 24 hours to provide flight times, ticket numbers and the complete itinerary for the trip.
- All precautionary restrictions imposed on August 8, 2024 remain in effect for Martins, including limits on movement, communication and public exposure.
- The First Panel scheduled sessions for December 9, 10, 16 and 17 to judge the so‑called “núcleo 2,” which the PGR says drafted a coup plan and proposed the neutralization of authorities.
- In a separate ruling, Moraes barred the defense from using slides during Tuesday’s oral argument, and Martins’ lawyers said they will appeal to the Brazilian Bar Association.
