Overview
- Citing an opinion filed on Nov. 18, Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet argued that Cid’s preventive detention from May–September 2023 and March–May 2024 does not add up to his two-year sentence.
- Gonet said detração applies only to custody that effectively restricts freedom of movement, so non-custodial measures such as electronic monitoring should not be credited.
- Cid is serving a two-year term in the open regime under court-imposed restrictions that include nightly home confinement, a ban on carrying weapons, limits on social media use, and barred contact with other targets of the case.
- The PGR asked that Cid’s defense be formally notified to state whether he and his family wish to enter the federal witness-protection program proposed by the Federal Police.
- The prosecution endorsed regular execution of the sentence after crediting only the time actually spent in preventive detention, with implementation handled by the open-regime executions court in the Federal District.
