The Attorney General’s Office (PGR) attributes five crimes to the hairdresser-coup of state, attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, armed criminal association, qualified damage and deterioration of listed heritage. These are crimes associated with acts of vandalism and depredation in the square of the three powers.

Fux voted for conviction only for deterioration of overturned assets. The minister considered that there is no evidence of Deborah’s participation in the breaking break. “There is only proof of individual and isolated conduct from the defendant, in the sense of pending the statue of justice using a lipstick,” wrote Fux.

Deborah is under house arrest with anklet, after spending two years pre -trial in the Rio Claro Women’s Penitentiary in São Paulo, since the eighth phase of Operation Lesa homeland triggered by the Federal Police in March 2023. The operation investigated the radicals and financiers of vandalism acts.
