STF First Chamber Will Vote on PGR Complaint Against Oswaldo Eustáquio

Overview

• Relator Alexandre de Moraes forwarded Pet 10.775 to the Supreme Court's Primeira Turma for a virtual plenary scheduled to run from October 16 to 23, during which ministers will decide whether to accept the PGR's complaint.
• The Procuradoria-Geral da República filed the complaint on July 31, accusing Eustáquio of association criminosa based on social-media posts, participation in protests against the 2022 election results and alleged mobilizations in front of military units.
• The complaint also alleges the use of a 16-year-old's account in a campaign targeting Federal Police delegate Fábio Shor, a claim that formed part of the PGR's factual outline in the sealed case file.
• Eustáquio's defense says the judge's August 4 citation by edital was improper because he has a fixed Spanish address known to Brazilian authorities and because neither he nor his lawyer have had access to the secret files, arguing the process is null for lack of proper notification.
• Eustáquio has been in Spain and was deemed ineligible for extradition by the Spanish Audiencia Nacional in April 2025 on the grounds of political motivation, so a decision to accept the complaint would raise procedural questions about in‑absentia proceedings and could prompt further diplomatic or enforcement actions.
