STF Grants House Arrest to Thaísa Hoffmann in INSS Fraud Probe

The ruling cites the welfare of the couple’s infant, imposing electronic monitoring with strict contact limits.

Overview

  • Minister André Mendonça converted Hoffmann’s preventive detention to home confinement on November 15 following her arrest in Operação Sem Desconto.
  • The order requires an ankle monitor, surrender of all passports, and bars contact with other suspects except her husband; visits are allowed without discussing the case.
  • The Prosecutor-General’s Office supported the change in custody, while Virgílio de Oliveira Filho remains in preventive detention.
  • Federal Police allege multimillion-real payments to Hoffmann from firms linked to lobbyist Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes and cite a Porsche and a R$18.3 million wealth increase attributed to her husband.
  • The investigation executed 63 search-and-seizure measures and multiple preventive arrests as authorities probe suspected INSS losses estimated at roughly R$6.3 billion from 2019 to 2024.
