The Chamber of Deputies reported this Thursday (20) that the House was not informed about the departure of federal deputy Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ) from the country.
The demonstration was announced after the website PlatôBR informs that Ramagem is in Miami, in the United States. It was filmed by the website while entering a condominium in the North American city.
Former director of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) during the Bolsonaro government, Ramagem was sentenced in the coup plot’s criminal action to 16 years in prison and is free to appeal.
During the investigation, Ramagem was banned by Minister Alexandre de Moraes from leaving the country and had to surrender all national and foreign passports.
According to the Chamber, the presidency of the House, which is held by deputy Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), was not communicated about the parliamentarian’s removal from national territory nor did it authorize any official Ramagem mission abroad.
The House also reported that the deputy presented medical certificates covering the periods between September 9th and October 8th and October 13th to December 12th.
Prison
Yesterday, federal deputies from the PSOL-RJ bench asked the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to order the parliamentarian’s arrest.
According to deputies, “everything indicates” that Ramagem fled Brazil. The arrest was requested by deputies Pastor Henrique Vieira, Glauber Braga, Chico Alencar, Tarcísio Motta and Talíria Petrone.
The deputy’s supposed escape occurs at a time when the end of the coup proceedings and the execution of the sentences of the deputy and the other defendants, including former president Jair Bolsonaro, are approaching.
Last week, the defendants in Core 1 had their appeals against their conviction denied by the First Panel of the Court.
With the decision, the defenses must file the last appeals in the next few days to avoid immediate enforcement of the convictions.
Ramagem’s defense informed that it will not comment.
