Lindbergh: material violation of ankle bracelet by Bolsonaro buries the defense thesis

The leader of the Workers’ Party in the Chamber of Deputies, federal deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ), said that the violation of the electronic ankle bracelet by former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) “burys the defense’s thesis”. “The material violation of the equipment, already confirmed by the PF, confessed by him and about to be detailed in an expert report, puts the defense’s thesis to rest once and for all.

Bolsonaro does not respect institutions, he does not comply with any precautions, he has already tried to escape to the Hungarian, Argentine and US embassies, and now the plan was to break the device and create a commotion with a vigil at the condominium door to escape house arrest”, wrote Lindbergh on the social network X.

Lindbergh classified Bolsonaro’s confession of having used a soldering iron on his electronic ankle bracelet as “unbelievable”. For the deputy, it was a “conscious and voluntary action to sabotage judicial monitoring, typical of those seeking to open an escape route”. “Well, here’s the “brave” one: melting the carcass of his ankle bracelet in the middle of the night like an amateur fugitive”, criticized the PT leader.

Lindbergh also defended the former president’s preventive detention until he began serving his sentence. “In view of the deliberate breakdown of electronic monitoring and the strategy to cause chaos and encourage evasion, there is no longer any condition for house arrest. The only measure compatible with the seriousness of the facts is preventive detention in the PF, where he will remain until the final judgment that will lead to the beginning of the definitive sentence in Papuda”, stated the PT leader.
