PF indicts Roberto Jefferson for four attempted murders of police officers

The order that sent Jefferson back to prison was signed by Minister Alexandre de Moraes on Saturday night (22), due to repeated non-compliance with precautionary measures. The former deputy had been under house arrest since January. One of the conditions for keeping prison at home is not to use social networks.

After resisting arrest for hours, Robert Jefferson was captured early Sunday evening, around 19pm. He is being held in the José Frederico Marques prison, in Benfica, in the north of the country. Rio.

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

Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), ordered the arrest of Roberto Jefferson, who failed to comply with house arrest measures. During the execution of an arrest warrant this Sunday (22), the former federal deputy and former president of the PTB attacked Federal Police (PF) agents with rifle shots and grenades – two were injured. After 8 hours, he surrendered.

The president of the Superior Electoral Court and minister of the STF, Alexandres de Moraes, stated that Jefferson's conduct, in shooting the police officers, could constitute, in theory, an attempted double homicide.

Soon after attacking the PF this Sunday, Jefferson even repeated the president's motto Jair Bolsonaro: 'God, country, family, life and freedom'.

One week before the second round of elections, Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is trying to separate himself from the image of his ally. Throughout the day, the head of the Executive hardened his tone against Jefferson – first he recalled a criminal complaint filed by the former deputy against him for alleged malfeasance; later, he called the politician a 'criminal': “The treatment given to those who shoot at police officers is that of criminals.”
