Overview

  • Federal Police executed the preventive detention order on Friday and transferred Martins to a local prison in Ponta Grossa, Paraná.
  • Alexandre de Moraes ruled that Martins violated a court ban on using social networks, pointing to activity on LinkedIn as evidence.
  • Martins had been under house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor since December 27 under STF-imposed precautionary measures.
  • The minister invoked Article 312 of the Code of Criminal Procedure after deeming the defense’s explanation for the alleged breach not plausible.
  • The move follows tighter STF enforcement to curb flight risks after cases such as Silvinei Vasques breaking an ankle monitor and attempting to leave via Paraguay, while Martins’ 21-year sentence set on December 16 remains under appeal.
