Brazil Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes alters restrictions on high‑profile defendants
Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the removal of the electronic monitoring bracelet and nightly house‑arrest requirement for YouTuber Bismark Fugazza, concluding that three years of full compliance justified lifting those measures.
Moraes also approved the transfer of 8 January protest‑related convict Marinho Junio Nascimento de Lima to a closed‑regime prison in Acre, accepting the defendant’s request to serve his sentence nearer to his family despite the state’s prison overcrowding.
In a separate decision, the minister revoked the electronic ankle bracelet and nighttime home‑detention for former Acre congressional candidate Michela Batista Lacerda, noting her three‑year record of adhering to all imposed restrictions while maintaining other precautionary orders.
