Moraes Allows Limited Domestic Help for Augusto Heleno as Ethics Panel Moves to Notify Him

The decision hinges on his advanced age and documented illnesses.

Overview

  • STF Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized a weekday domestic worker and a once‑weekly clothes presser to enter Heleno's residence during his humanitarian home detention.
  • The authorized personnel are Ailton Ferreira de Souza on business days and Eleni Antonia Rodrigues once a week, both restricted to business hours.
  • Heleno is serving a 21‑year sentence from the STF First Chamber for actions tied to an alleged 2022–2023 attempt to undermine democratic institutions and has been on home detention since December 22, 2025 due to health conditions, with PGR support.
  • His confinement includes an electronic ankle monitor, surrender of passports, a ban on visits except lawyers and medical staff, and prohibition on communications and social networks, with violations risking a return to closed prison.
  • Separately, the federal Ethics Commission asked Moraes to authorize personal delivery of a notice opening an administrative inquiry into Heleno’s July 2022 ministerial remarks, with a ruling on the request pending.
