Overview

• Alexandre de Moraes ordered the Prosecutor-General’s Office to state its position within five days on a request to place Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro in preventive detention and to suspend his pay and perks.
• PT and PSOL deputies Lindbergh Farias and Talíria Petrone filed the request, which also asks the Chamber to fast-track ethics proceedings and consider recovering funds tied to Eduardo’s months abroad.
• The PGR already filed a criminal complaint on September 22 accusing Eduardo Bolsonaro of coercion in the course of a judicial process, with the STF notifying him by public notice after failed attempts to serve him in Brasília.
• Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet issued a formal opinion that a fully remote parliamentary mandate is incompatible with the office, a stance with potential consequences for Eduardo Bolsonaro as he remains in the United States.
• Gonet also recommended that Minister André Mendonça archive an inquiry into Jair Bolsonaro over the 2022 Bicentenary events, while the STF’s First Panel registered two votes to keep Sergio Moro as a defendant in a calumny case, with the virtual judgment open until October 10.
