According to the court, STF’s Minister Alexandre do Moraes examined the detainees.

A total of 574 prisoners have been filed so far: 354 had flagrant prison converted into preventive detention, and 220 people were provisionally released through precautionary measures.

In the cases, De Moraes pointed out evidence of those crimes foreseen in the Brazilian legislation and the Criminal Code, such as terrorist acts (including preparatory ones), criminal association, violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup d’Etat, threat, persecution, and incitement to crime.
