Man who destroyed Dom João VI's clock on 8/1 leaves arrest without monitoring

Sentenced to 17 years in prison, the mechanic Antonio Claudio Alves Ferreira, responsible for breaking the Balthazar Martinot clock on January 8, 2023, left prison on Wednesday after the court granted the progression to the semi-open regime. According to the Minas Gerais Court of Justice, as electronic anklets are missing in the state, it was released without the device.

Professor Jacy de Assis prison in Uberlândia is expected to include Antonio Ferreira on the waiting list for the equipment, as per the decision. According to the decision of Judge Lourenço Miglioni Fonseca Ribeiro, there is no forecast for the regularization of the supply of anklets.

Antonio Ferreira was convicted in June for the crimes of violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup, armed criminal association and damage qualified by violence and serious threat.

He had been filmed during January 8 breaking the Balthazar Martinot clock, a gift from the French court to Dom João VI. In January this year, after undergoing a restoration process in Switzerland, the play was placed in President Lula’s office.
