STJ ministers are already considering resuming the imprisonment of Queiroz and Márcia Aguiar in August.
According to ministers of the court, Noronha's decision, who is courting Jair Bolsonaro for a seat on the Supreme Federal Court (STF), to send Queiroz and his wife to house arrest is unsustainable.
247 - A decision of the president of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), João Otávio de Noronha, sending Fabrício Queiroz and his wife Márcia Aguiar, who is a fugitive, to house arrest has caused discontent among the other ministers of the court behind the scenes.
The members of the court believe that Noronha's decision, who is flirting with Jair Bolsonaro for a seat on the Supreme Court, is unsustainable, especially regarding the relaxation of Márcia's prison regime, who has been a fugitive since Queiroz's arrest.
Because the other ministers of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) were on recess, the court's president, who is the magistrate on duty during this vacation period, decided unilaterally to release Queiroz.
Minister Félix Fischer is expected to schedule the matter for discussion at the beginning of August, when the judicial recess ends.
