The Attorney General’s Office has expressed its favor on the request made by the Federal Police to extend for another five days the temporary detention of Ivan Rejane Pinto, arrested last week for spreading false information on social networks against ministers of the Court and politicians. Earlier, Alexandre de Moraes had asked for the PGR’s manifestation on the case.
According to the Federal Police, documents and media were seized with the suspect, which may contain data related to the investigated facts.
“The material is being analyzed by the project team, in order to obtain information that can be confronted with the criminal hypotheses mentioned. However, to date, the analysis of the seized material has not been exhausted. In this way, the freedom of the custodian at this time may cause serious damage to the investigation, with possible suppression of evidence, which can be located with the end of the analysis of the seized material or even the communication with other members of the group, who have not yet been identified, causing the investigative measures to be ineffective,” the police said in the order.
Ivan Rejane Pinto was arrested by the Federal Police on Friday (22), in Belo Horizonte, by decision of Alexandre de Moraes, accused of spreading false information about the performance of the Court. He even resisted arrest.
In the posts on social networks that supported the arrest, the accused made several attacks on Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Gleisi Hoffmann and Marcelo Freixo, in addition to criticizing STF ministers appointed by the PT.
