Moraes Gives Heleno 5 Days to Prove Alzheimer Diagnosis as STF Weighs House Arrest

Overview

• Alexandre de Moraes ordered Augusto Heleno’s lawyers to file the initial 2018 exam and all medical, neuropsychological and psychiatric reports since then, plus proof of consultations and treating doctors.
• The minister also asked whether Heleno disclosed any diagnosis to presidential health services while he led the GSI from 2019 to 2022, noting that documents submitted so far are from 2024.
• The Prosecutor-General recommended humanitarian house arrest for the 78-year-old, but a decision will come only after the requested records are received.
• Heleno remains at the Comando Militar do Planalto serving a 21-year sentence and reported in a custody exam that he has had Alzheimer’s symptoms since 2018.
• Jair Bolsonaro continues to serve a more than 27-year sentence at Federal Police headquarters as his defense files embargos infringentes to annul the conviction and seek plenary review, and a separate habeas corpus by a law student seeks domiciliary custody for both men without a ruling yet.
