Roberto Jefferson surrenders to the police after resisting Moraes' arrest order with a grenade and rifle

When PF agents arrived at the former deputy's residence, in the city of Comendador Levy Gasparian, in the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Jefferson stated that he would not surrender, in images that were shared on social media. See the video:

Former deputy Roberto Jefferson shot federal police officers who went to serve the arrest warrant ordered by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), in the early afternoon of this Sunday (23). According to the portal G1, the information is confirmed by PF sources and Jefferson's lawyer, Luiz Gustavo Cunha.

According to the PF, at least two police officers were injured with shrapnel, but not seriously.

Offenses against Cármen Lúcia

The case involving the Federal Police comes one day after Roberto Jefferson was repudiated by members of the political and legal class for attacking the STF minister, Cármen Lúcia, with insults. The former deputy called the minister a “broken whore” in a video posted on the internet.

Demonstrations by presidential candidates

President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) condemned Jefferson's action but, at the same time, criticized the Justice's action.

Furthermore, he stated that he does not have any photos with the former deputy, which was denied on social media.

About Roberto Jefferson, there is not much to say. Its track record is known. What is surprising is that he still has some space in the Brazilian public arena, including in the press. May his fate be determined by what the law dictates. After today's events, Justice, which is delayed in this case, should not fail.

The PT candidate for President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, criticized the insults made by Roberto Jefferson against minister Cármen Lúcia. The PT member's statements were made minutes after the PT member resisted an arrest order from the STF.
