PSOL Seeks Immediate Arrest of Ramagem After Reporters Find Him in Miami

Opposition lawmakers say unresolved passport controls put enforcement of his 16-year sentence at risk.

Overview

  • Reporters from PlatôBR and ISTOÉ located Alexandre Ramagem in the Solé Mia complex in North Miami on November 19, documenting his presence with photos.
  • PSOL-RJ deputies filed requests to the Supreme Federal Court and the Federal Police for his preventive detention, citing a concrete risk of evasion.
  • The petition is signed by Henrique Vieira, Tarcísio Motta, Chico Alencar, Talíria Petrone and Glauber Braga, who argue authorities must act to ensure execution of the sentence.
  • STF minister Alexandre de Moraes had ordered defendants to surrender passports during the case, and there is no public record indicating Ramagem’s documents were returned.
  • Ramagem was convicted in September to 16 years, 1 month and 15 days, with loss of his mandate and PF post, based on evidence including documents attacking electronic voting and accusations of a ‘parallel Abin,’ and he remains on medical leave through December 12.
