MADRID, 21 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Supreme Court of Brazil (TSF) has decided this Friday to keep 942 people in jail in relation to their participation in the assault on the headquarters of the three State powers, in Brasilia, on January 8.

The judge of the judicial body Alexandre de Moraes has adopted the resolution after the analysis of the situation of the 1,406 people who were still detained up to now has been completed. Of these, 464 have obtained provisional release, although they must comply with certain precautionary measures, the newspaper 'O Globo' reported.

The 942 people who have not been released have seen their flagrant detention converted into preventive detention, which does not have a specific release period.

According to the information disseminated by Moraes' office about the people who will continue to be detained, the judge has considered that there are indications that they committed crimes of terrorist acts, criminal association, violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, attempted coup d'état, as well as threat, persecution or incitement to crime.

On the other hand, regarding the inmates released, there would be no indication that they had committed acts of violence, invasion of real estate, or depredation of real estate. However, they must comply with a series of measures such as home confinement at night and on weekends, the use of electronic anklets, as well as the suspension of any possession of weapons.

They will not be able to leave the country nor will they be able to use social networks to communicate with the other suspects, among other determinations, according to the aforementioned newspaper.
