Overview

• Vice prosecutor general Hindenburgo Chateaubriand Filho issued a favorable opinion for Silveira to move from the semi-open to the open regime.
• The decision now depends on Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes, who requested the prosecutorial analysis last week.
• Moraes previously authorized the remição of 113 days, and the defense argues the open regime should have begun on August 21 based on the prison sentence certificate.
• Silveira remains held at the Colônia Agrícola de Magé in Rio de Janeiro with authorization to leave for treatment using an ankle monitor after knee surgery in July.
• Convicted by the STF in 2022 to eight years and nine months for threats to democratic institutions and coercion, he advanced to the semi-open regime in October 2024 and later had a conditional release revoked for noncompliance.
