Moraes Orders Uberlândia Court to Recalculate Sentence for Jan. 8 Convict Within 48 Hours

The minister demands certified records to apply previously validated remissions.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court said earlier directives were ignored and ordered the Uberlândia executions court to issue a new atestado de pena a cumprir within 48 hours.
  • Minas Gerais’ justice secretariat must certify Ferreira’s work hours, Encceja participation and results, and the number of books read, with supporting documents.
  • Moraes had already recognized 66 days of sentence remission—62 for work and 4 for reading O Mulato—and authorized credit for time spent in preventive detention.
  • The Prosecutor General’s Office was notified and the defense was informed as the court updates the calculations and forwards the required records.
  • Ferreira received a 17-year sentence in 2024 for five crimes linked to the January 8 attack, was recaptured after an unauthorized local release, and was identified as the man who smashed Dom João VI’s Planalto clock, later restored and returned to display.
