PGR Charges Fabiano Feltrin Over ‘Guillotine’ Remark About STF’s Moraes

The filing seeks damages, with a potential non-prosecution deal on the table.

Overview

  • Prosecutor-general Paulo Gonet filed a criminal complaint at the Supreme Court accusing Feltrin of public incitement to crime for remarks made during a July 25, 2024 live broadcast.
  • During the video, recorded at an event where Jair Bolsonaro was present, Feltrin suggested placing Minister Alexandre de Moraes in a guillotine while handling a berlinda.
  • Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the case relator, notified Feltrin and set a 15-day deadline for a preliminary defense.
  • The Procuradoria requested that the court fix an amount for reparations tied to the alleged offense.
  • The Federal Police preserved the video as evidence, and the PGR noted it is open to negotiating a non-prosecution agreement for an offense punishable by three to six months’ detention or a fine.
