STF Finalizes Ramagem Conviction, Orders Arrest and Mandate Loss

The decision sets enforcement in motion as he remains a fugitive in the United States.

Overview

  • Minister Alexandre de Moraes certified the conviction as final and ordered execution of a 16-year, 1-month, 15-day sentence in a closed regime.
  • He issued a prison warrant and directed Ramagem’s entry into the National Prison Monitoring Database to register him as wanted.
  • The Chamber of Deputies was notified to declare the loss of Ramagem’s seat under Article 55, and the TSE was informed of his resulting ineligibility.
  • Moraes instructed authorities to pursue international enforcement, including extradition from the United States, with reports indicating a move to request an Interpol red notice.
  • Ramagem left Brazil after his September conviction and is in Miami, and congressional leaders such as PT’s Lindbergh Farias pressed the Chamber to formalize the cassation promptly.
