Moraes Authorizes In-Home Psychiatric Care for Roberto Jefferson on House Arrest

The order keeps treatment outside the hospital with court oversight of all visits.

Overview

  • The STF allowed a psychiatrist to attend Roberto Jefferson at his residence as he serves domiciliary detention.
  • The decision also permits nutritional guidance and physiotherapy to be provided at home.
  • All treatments must have dates and times communicated to the Court for monitoring and compliance.
  • A barber may visit every 15 days to perform personal hygiene services such as haircuts and shaving.
  • Jefferson was sentenced to nine years, one month and five days by the STF, had his custody converted to humanitarian house arrest in May after nearly two years at Hospital Samaritano, and in July was allowed to replace an ankle monitor due to discomfort.
