Moraes Revokes Preventive Detention for Two January 8 Defendants, Imposes Tight Restrictions

Reduced risk at this stage leads the court to swap jail for electronic monitoring under strict bans.

Overview

  • Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the release of Glaudiston da Silva Cabral and Alexsandra Aparecida da Silva on October 15.
  • Both defendants must follow alternative measures including electronic ankle monitoring, a social‑media ban, passport surrender, and suspension of firearm permits.
  • Alexsandra, a first‑time defendant with a breast nodule cited by her defense, must also observe nighttime and weekend home confinement and report weekly to the court.
  • The Procuradoria-Geral da República opposed Alexsandra’s release over repeated breaches of prior rules, but the judge found no concrete risk of reoffending under the current case posture.
  • Glaudiston’s case, previously kept in custody after a late‑September denial, stems from posts attacking STF justices and charges of incitement and criminal association within the broader January 8 probe.
