The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes denied today (30) a request made by the defense of federal deputy Daniel Silveira (União Brasil-RJ) to revoke the decision that determined the placement of an electronic anklet. 
In view of the non-compliance with the measure, the minister set a daily fine of R$ 15 thousand and ordered all bank accounts of the parliamentarian to be blocked to guarantee payment.
Alexandre de Moraes also opened an investigation into the crime of disobedience to a court order.
Finally, the minister determined that the president of the Chamber, Arthur Lira, indicate the day, time and place for the placement of the ankle bracelet on Daniel Silveira and that he adopt measures to deduct the fine from the parliamentarian’s salary.
Yesterday (29), Moraes again ordered Daniel Silveira to wear an electronic ankle bracelet. According to the decision, the measure should be carried out immediately by the Federal Police (PF), including on the premises of the Chamber of Deputies. However, the congressman refused to put the device on and spent last night in his office.
Defense
Earlier, in an appeal presented to the STF, the defense stated that Daniel Silveira cannot be the target of measures that could restrict the mandate, as decided by the Court in the judgment of the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality 5,526, in 2017.
According to the lawyers, in cases of judicial measures that have an impact on the parliamentary term, the decision must be voted on by the Chamber of Deputies within 24 hours.
Understand
Last week, Moraes ordered the return of electronic monitoring, but the PF and the Secretary of Penitentiary Administration of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Seap) were unable to comply with the measure.
The new decision in favor of monitoring was motivated by a request from the Attorney General’s Office (PGR). In a statement sent to the STF, sub-prosecutor Lindôra Araújo argued that Silveira continues to present “criminal behavior” by proffering, in public, “numerous offenses” against Supreme Court ministers and the court itself.
Silveira was even arrested in the act in February 2021, within the scope of an inquiry that investigates the performance of acts against democratic institutions, after having released videos with threats to ministers of the Supreme Court. He later became a defendant in the same lawsuit.
