Moraes Gives Filipe Martins 24 Hours to Explain Alleged LinkedIn Use as STF Tightens Controls on Convicted Plotters

Overview

• The STF relator warned that a confirmed breach of the social‑media ban could lead to preventive detention of Martins, who was sentenced to 21 years this month.
• Army Lt. Col. Guilherme Marques Almeida surrendered to federal police at Goiânia airport and is under court‑ordered house arrest with electronic monitoring.
• Almeida received 13 years and six months for participation in the so‑called nucleus 4 that spread falsehoods about voting machines, with PF audio capturing calls to “leave the four lines” after the 2022 vote.
• Carlos Rocha, president of Instituto Voto Legal and sentenced to seven years and six months, has not been found and is treated as a fugitive by police.
• Moraes imposed a standardized set of measures—ankle monitors, bans on social networks and contact with other defendants, and passport surrender—citing recent escape cases involving Silvinei Vasques in Paraguay and Alexandre Ramagem’s departure to the United States.
