STF Justice Moraes Approves Daily Escorted Visits for 8 January Convict to See Hospitalized Daughter

Overview

• Alexandre de Moraes authorized Robson Victor de Souza to visit his critically ill daughter in a Juiz de Fora hospital each day.
• Visits are confined to hospital visiting hours with a discrete police escort and no ostensive display of weapons.
• Movement is limited to the hospital setting or a designated referral unit, with no authorization beyond the medical environment.
• The permission applies only until the daughter's surgery and post‑operative stabilization, and the defense must inform the court of the surgery date within 24 hours.
• De Souza remains in custody at the Army’s 4th Field Artillery Group in Juiz de Fora under a 14‑year sentence, and the unit’s director was ordered to ensure compliance; a court report notes 179 of 1,399 8 January defendants remain detained.
