Suspects are involved in investigations into plans to kill public officials, such as Senator Sergio Moro
Judge Gabriela Hardt, from the 9th Federal Court of Curitiba, extended for another 5 days the temporary arrests of 2 members of the PCC (First Command of the Capital) this Sunday (26.Mar.2023). Here’s the full (844 KB) of the decision.
They were arrested after the operation launched by the PF (Federal Police) on Wednesday (22.Mar) that dismantled an alleged criminal organization that planned to attack public authorities and had as one of its targets the former judge and senator Sergio Moro (Brazil Union).
The defenses of Reginaldo Oliveira de Sousa, known as “Re“, and Valter Lima Nascimento, called “Guinho“, presented requests for the revocation of the temporary arrest decreed by Hardt. The judge denied the requests and extended the prison term in response to the PF (Federal Police).
The PF manifested itself by decreeing the preventive detention of the investigated, which, unlike the temporary one, does not have a previously defined maximum period. As a 1st alternative, it had also suggested a 30-day extension. The MPF (Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office) came out against the PF’s requests and in favor of the defense’s requests.
Nine people have already been arrested and 4 temporary arrest warrants, 7 preventive arrest warrants and 24 search and seizure warrants were issued. The operation takes place in São Paulo, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul and Rondônia.
“The evidence brought by the Police Authority in the course of the investigations shows that those investigated occupy a leadership position, being recognized for the use of violent means to achieve their spurious interests.“, says the judge in the decision.
The decision also mentions the PF’s request for preventive detention against Patric Uelinton Salomão, known as “Wrought”and Sidney Rodrigo Aparecido Piovesan, called “El Sid/Cid”.
The judge had issued temporary arrest warrants against the 2 investigated, which have not yet been complied with. “Therefore, there is no need to talk about extension,” says Hardt in the document.
Hardt also establishes that, if the PF considers it unnecessary to maintain the precautionary measure for a period of 5 days, the arrest order must be immediately revoked.
withdrawal of secrecy
Judge Gabriela Hardt removed the secrecy of the decision that triggered the PF operation after Lula spoke of an alleged frame by Moro in relation to the PCC’s plan to kill him. Here are the full report (5 MB) that gathers evidence of the operation and the dispatch (19 MB) of the magistrate.
According to investigators, the plans of the criminal faction were reported by a former member of the criminal faction to the MP-SP (Ministério Público de São Paulo) in early March.
The report that was made public by Hardt shows that actions to carry out the attack began in September 2022, during the election period. The document also has records of the weapons belonging to the group.
