Moraes Orders Daniel Silveira to Explain Alleged Failure to Return to Prison After Therapy

The directive follows monitoring reports and arrives as prosecutors endorse his move to the open regime, which still awaits a ruling.

Overview

  • Alexandre de Moraes gave Silveira’s defense five days to justify his movements and reported absences after physiotherapy sessions in Petrópolis.
  • Moares requested internal camera footage from the Magé prison, and Rio’s penitentiary authority says it has compiled raw monitoring files and awaits the Court’s official request to send them.
  • Silveira was authorized in August to leave for post‑surgical physiotherapy and was fitted with an electronic anklet; days earlier, Moraes approved 113 days of sentence remission for prison activities.
  • The PGR issued an opinion favoring Silveira’s progression from the semi‑open to the open regime based on behavior, but Moraes has not decided on the request.
  • Moraes denied pastor Silas Malafaia’s bid for special access in the case involving Eduardo Bolsonaro, stating the records are public, as the Court also navigates U.S. sanctions on justices and a leadership shift to Edson Fachin on Monday.
