Overview

• Justice Alexandre de Moraes gave the Prosecutor‑General’s Office five days to opine on a request to order Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro’s preventive detention and to suspend his pay and allowances.
• The detention request, filed by Deputies Lindbergh Farias and Talíria Petrone, follows failed attempts to locate Eduardo in Brasília; he was cited by public notice and has been in the United States since February.
• The PGR has already filed a criminal complaint against Eduardo Bolsonaro and Paulo Figueiredo for alleged coercion in a judicial process tied to efforts to press U.S. authorities to sanction Brazilian officials.
• Prosecutor‑General Paulo Gonet told the STF that a parliamentary mandate is not compatible with 100% remote work, underscoring physical presence as the rule in a view that could affect absent deputies.
• Gonet also asked Justice André Mendonça to archive a probe into Bolsonaro’s 2022 Bicentennial events as duplicative, while the STF’s First Panel began judging Sergio Moro’s appeal, with two votes recorded to reject it and keep him as a defendant through Oct. 10.
