STF Majority Backs INSS Fraud Detentions as Fachin Assumes Presidency

The virtual review runs through October 3 as political and procedural maneuvers intensify around the court.

Overview

  • The Second Turma reached a 3–0 majority to keep Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes and Maurício Camisotti in preventive custody, with Dias Toffoli yet to vote and Gilmar Mendes impeded; the virtual session is scheduled to close on October 3.
  • The PF justified the detentions by citing risks of obstruction, access to confidential information, asset concealment and flight, and reports that Antunes movimentou R$ 53,58 milhões por meio de suas empresas.
  • Edson Fachin took office as STF president, signaling a cost‑conscious, low‑profile administration with an emphasis on collective deliberations.
  • Alexandre de Moraes authorized Jan. 8 defendant Frederico Rosário Fusco Pessoa de Oliveira to travel to São Paulo under strict conditions to assist his hospitalized son, and separately permitted Daniel Soares do Nascimento to attend his mother’s funeral under escorted release.
  • On related fronts, Luiz Fux suspended the PF indiciamento of deputy Elmar Nascimento and sent the case to the STF on foro grounds, Congress weighs Paulinho da Força’s ‘PL da Dosimetria,’ and Moraes ordered Eduardo Bolsonaro to be notified by edital as he continues pressure efforts in the U.S.
