Overview
- The Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes signed the authorization on August 6 and the decision was reported Monday, August 10, allowing Paulo Sérgio Nogueira to enroll in the EAD course 'Liderança e Gestão de Pessoas na Área de Saúde'.
- Moraes grounded the authorization in Article 126 of the Lei de Execução Penal, which permits remição or partial reduction of a sentence through approved study or work activities.
- Enrollment and class attendance are expressly conditioned on compliance with the Comando Militar do Planalto’s internal regulations and on using an institution accredited by the Distrito Federal penitentiary secretariat (Seape‑DF).
- Nogueira is a former army commander and defense minister who was convicted in the STF case on charges tied to an alleged attempt to overturn the democratic order; his sentence became final in November 2025 and he had served about 255 days when the order was issued.
- If the CMP and the accredited provider implement the program, successful participation could shorten Nogueira’s time in custody, and the move follows an earlier Moraes authorization in January that allowed a different EAD course for the same prisoner.
