CCJ da Alerj adia início da análise sobre prisão de Rodrigo Bacellar

Overview

  • An extraordinary CCJ session set for Friday was delayed after Bacellar’s defense cited a 48‑hour regimental window, with the CCJ now slated for Monday at 11:00 and a plenary session at 15:00.
  • Deputies are weighing whether to vote in a single resolution on detention and leadership or in separate texts, with a third option leaving any removal decision to Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
  • Party benches from MDB, PSOL, PT, PSB, and PCdoB have announced support for keeping Bacellar in custody.
  • Governor Cláudio Castro has reportedly told allies he favors releasing Bacellar only if he is removed from the Alerj presidency.
  • Detained in the PF’s Operation Unha e Carne over alleged leaks linked to Operation Zargun, Bacellar has pressed allies via his lawyers to protect his post as deputies voice fear of PF/STF scrutiny while three seized phones undergo forensic analysis.
