Overview
- The STF First Panel found Domingos and João Francisco “Chiquinho” Brazão guilty as mandantes, sentencing each to 76 years and three months in prison.
- Ex‑PM major Ronald Paulo Alves Pereira received 56 years, while ex‑police chief Rivaldo Barbosa was convicted of obstruction of justice and passive corruption and sentenced to 18 years, and Robson “Peixe” Calixto Fonseca got 9 years for criminal organization.
- Ministers set indemnities of R$3 million to Marielle Franco’s family, R$3 million to Anderson Gomes’s family, and R$1 million to survivor Fernanda Chaves and her son.
- Relator Alexandre de Moraes rejected defense preliminaries on jurisdiction, indictment validity, and plea-bargain nullity, then grounded the convictions on corroborated statements from Ronnie Lessa, Élcio de Queiroz, and militiaman Orlando Curicica.
- Defense teams said they will appeal to the STF’s Second Panel; the ruling provides for loss of offices and suspension of political rights once the convictions become final.
