Overview
- Alexandre de Moraes directed the Comando Militar do Planalto to report if retired General Mário Fernandes meets internal rules for conjugal visits.
- The order, signed on February 6, concerns Fernandes’s request to receive his wife, Daniela Cabral Fernandes, during detention in Brasília.
- Defense lawyers argue the visits would support emotional stability and aid social rehabilitation during his incarceration.
- Once the Army responds, the Prosecutor General’s Office will have five days to deliver its view before a decision on the request.
- Fernandes was sentenced to 26 years and 6 months in the Núcleo 2 case and admits drafting the ‘Punhal Verde e Amarelo’ document targeting Lula, Geraldo Alckmin and Moraes, while claiming it was a personal, unshared text; he has been held at the CMP since November 2024 and performs administrative work in custody.
