Brazil's Attorney General opposes the release of Daniel Silveira.
The Attorney General's Office (PGR) states that the former congressman violated the conditions of his parole and opposed the granting of the Christmas pardon requested by his defense.
247 - The Attorney General's Office (PGR) has expressed its opposition to granting a Christmas pardon to former federal deputy Daniel Silveira, reinforcing its decision to revoke his parole. According to the... CNN BrazilThe statement, signed by Deputy Attorney General Hindenburgo Chateaubriand Filho, highlights violations of the conditions imposed on Silveira, such as disregarding the curfew, frequent visits to public places, and the undeclared possession of a firearm.
According to the document sent to the Supreme Federal Court (STF), the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) states that disrespect for the conditions of parole "cannot subject the inmate to sanctions applicable to offenses committed during their time in prison." The Attorney General's Office argues that, after the revocation of the right to parole, the conditions to be considered should be those prior to its granting, "and there can be no regression to a more lenient regime for serving the sentence."
The prosecution also argues that the crimes for which Silveira was convicted do not meet the criteria for granting a pardon, as stipulated by the presidential decree. This was the request from the former congressman's defense, which is now awaiting the decision of Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, responsible for analyzing the 12 pardon requests made by Silveira's defense.
Daniel Silveira, who was arrested on December 24th of last year, just four days after his release, has had his freedom revoked again due to non-compliance with the established conditions.
