Moraes gives PGR five days to give an opinion on the release of Anderson Torres

Six people remain hospitalized after attack in Aracruz

Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), granted, this Wednesday (12), a period of five days for the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) to comment on the request for freedom made by the defense of the former -Minister of Justice Anderson Torres.

After receiving the opinion of the PGR, the minister must decide the issue. There is no deadline for making a decision. On Monday (10), lawyers told the Supreme Court that Torres does not pose a risk to investigations and asked that the arrest be replaced by precautionary measures.

He has been in prison since January 14 due to investigations into the coup acts that took place on the 8th of that month. At the time, Torres was at the head of the Security Secretariat of the Federal District. The STF inquiry investigates alleged omission in containing the acts.

In the request for release, the defense also mentioned the situation of Anderson Torres’ family. “After the applicant’s precautionary custody was granted, his daughters, unfortunately, began to receive psychological support, with the effect that they were unable to attend school regularly. Added to this is the fact that the applicant’s mother is treating cancer. The postulant, on his turn, while he has not seen his daughters since his preventive detention, entered a state of deep sadness, cries constantly, barely eats and has already lost 12 kilos”, say the lawyers.
