Alexandre de Moraes’s Ruling on Bacellar Release

Moraes highlighted the ongoing necessity for public order assurance and criminal investigation continuity despite Alerj’s decision to revoke the arrest. The text recalls a portion of his previous decision leading to Bacellar’s arrest on the 3rd, indicating possible coordinated and structured actions for obstructing investigations related to violent criminal groups and their connections with public agents that require uniform repression. The described events are deemed ‘very serious’. Bacellar is portrayed as someone actively working to obstruct investigations involving organized crime and actions against the criminal underworld, with influence in the executive branch, potentially heightening the risk of continued crime and undue interference in investigations. Therefore, Moraes authorized the implementation of precautionary measures, clarifying that no ‘deliberation of the Legislative Assembly’ is necessary, ensuring the regular exercise of parliamentary mandates.
