The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes ordered federal deputy Daniel Silveira (União Brasil-RJ) to place the electronic anklet, at 3 pm today, at the Superintendence of the Federal Police (PF), in Brasília.
The decision is another chapter in the arm wrestling between the deputy and the Supreme Court in the face of non-compliance with the decision that determined the installation of the equipment.
Yesterday (30), Moraes also set a daily fine of R$ 15,000 and ordered all the parliamentarian’s bank accounts to be blocked to guarantee payment.
Daniel Silveira’s defense alleges that he cannot be the target of measures that may 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 mandate, the decision must be voted on by the Chamber of Deputies within 24 hours, as in cases of arrest.
However, Moraes did not submit his decision to Congress because he understood that the measure does not interfere with the deputy’s mandate.

Last week, the minister ordered the return of electronic monitoring, but the Federal Police 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 investigation that investigates the performance of acts against democratic institutions, after having released videos with threats to ministers of the Federal Supreme Court.
