Moraes Allows Detained General to Sit ENEM Under Discreet Escort

The authorization covers Mário Fernandes, a defendant tied to a 2022 plot prosecutors link to an attempted coup, with trial scheduled in December at the Supreme Court.

Overview

  • Alexandre de Moraes approved temporary leave for Fernandes to take the ENEM on November 9 and 16 while he remains in preventive detention.
  • The order permits travel from the Comando Militar do Planalto to the University of Brasília strictly for the exam periods and return.
  • Escort must be provided by the military unit in a non‑ostentatious manner without conspicuous display of weapons, according to the decision.
  • Investigators attribute to Fernandes the 'Punhal Verde e Amarelo' document outlining assassinations of Lula, Geraldo Alckmin, and Moraes, which he admits drafting but says he showed to no one.
  • The Prosecutor General's Office argues the plan formed part of an attempted coup and cites monitoring of a Supreme Court minister, while the case against the 'núcleo dois' group is set for December in the STF's First Panel.
