Moraes tells the defense to explain which of Bolsonaro’s security guards are from the GSI

Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), determined this Monday, 30th, that the defense of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) inform which members of the security team appointed to work at the former president’s residence belong to the Institutional Security Office (GSI).

The order was issued in Penal Execution 169, in which Bolsonaro is serving his sentence under temporary humanitarian house arrest. Moraes based the determination on article 21 of the Internal Regulations of the STF and justified the need to “protect the necessary controlled environment”.

The defense had filed, on March 27, the list of professionals – security agents, drivers and other employees – who carry out routine activities at the residence, for registration purposes. Moraes authorized the registration on March 28.

This Monday, the defense presented a complementary list of members of the security team. It was based on this second document that the minister issued the subpoena regarding the GSI.

The GSI is the federal body responsible for the personal security of the President of the Republic and, by extension, former presidents. The law guarantees former representatives the right to serve as agents of the body.

In the decision granting house arrest, on March 24, Moraes expressly authorized “the resumption of the exercise of their functions provided for by law” by Bolsonaro’s security guards, determining that the defense inform the names and details of all agents within 24 hours.

This Monday’s subpoena indicates that Moraes wants to identify, within the group already registered and the complementary list, which agents are linked to the GSI – distinguishing them from private professionals hired by the family.

House arrest was authorized on March 24 for 90 days, following Bolsonaro’s medical discharge, for recovery from aspiration bronchopneumonia diagnosed after hospitalization at DF Star Hospital on March 13. The concession was made on an exceptional basis, based on the clinical condition of the former president, aged 71, and the favorable opinion of the Federal Attorney General’s Office (PGR).

Among the conditions imposed are the use of an electronic ankle bracelet with an inclusion area limited to the residence, prohibition on the use of cell phones and social networks, restriction of visits and in-person monitoring by the Military Police of the Federal District.

Failure to comply with any of the rules implies immediate revocation of the measure and return to the closed regime.
