Moraes cria regra para acusados do 8/1, dizem advogados

Key Restrictions on Defendants

Justice Alexandre de Moraes implemented new restrictions for defendants involved in the January 8th events. These restrictions include a ban on social media usage, giving interviews, and the recording of images—even by third parties. Violation of these rules could lead to fines or imprisonment.

Impact on Key Figures

• Filipe Martins: Faces restrictions on social media, interviews, and must wear an electronic ankle bracelet. He was previously fined R$20,000 for appearing in a social media post by his lawyer.
• Silvinei Vasques: Decided against attending a Supreme Court session due to concerns about media coverage and potential social media sharing, fearing violation of his own court-ordered restrictions.

Enforcement and Penalties

The court order emphasizes the prohibition of any image dissemination relating to the trial or the defendant's movements, with penalties including fines and potential imprisonment for non-compliance.
