Minister Alexander de Morais Rejection of the second appeal of Color’s defense and determined his immediate detention. He was sentenced to eight years and ten months in prison, in a closed initial system, to participate in the corruption scheme in BR Distribidora, the current Viber.

Or the case
According to Mauric, the defense of Color had a “intention to delay” when she entered the second call, because he did not make new facts. However, the minister believed that it was necessary to comply with the decision immediately.
The Supreme Court has already denied the Collor feature in which he said that his punishment was higher than the average votes of ministers. In the new demand, the defense wanted to be considered the punishment proposed by the ministers who voted for the lighter penalties: André Mendona, Nunes Marquise, Dias Tofuli and Jillmar Mendes.
The minister rejected this appeal on Thursday. In the decision, he made it clear that this type of request is acceptable only when at least four ministers vote in favor of Total Prowittal, which did not happen, even if the crimes were analyzed separately.
Morais also recalled that STF has already decided that the differences over the size of the sentence do not allow this type of appeal. Finally, he stated that the Supreme Court allows the beginning of the prison even before the final publication of the decision, when the appeal only aims to delay the operation. According to the judge, this is what happened in this case.
In 2023, most of the court ministers realized that Color received $ 20 million of bribes between 2010 and 2014 to facilitate the construction of business from UTC Engnharia on BR Distribidora using its political influence as Sunator.
The values were washing to hide its illegal origin, and according to what was reported, the advantage was given in exchange for political support to refer to the managers of the state -owned company at the time.
In addition to arrest, Color was sentenced to prison:
- Pay 90 good days.
- He paid $ 20 million, Ranjit, an ethical damage (in conjunction with other convicts);
- It is prohibited to occupy a public office or a job “for twice the time of deprivation of applied freedom.”
What does the defense say?
In a note, the defense claims to receive it “With surprise and anxiety,” Morris and the countries decide that Color will present himself to comply with the decision.
“There was no decision regarding the recipe shown after the defense of the Public Prosecutor’s Office was aware of. With regard to the late appeal character, the defense showed that the majority of the court members recognize their appearance. Such matters will be left to the general formation to make a decision, at least in the already unusual sanctuary session for tomorrow,” he says.
He says: “However, former President Fernando Color will present himself to comply with the decision determined by Minister Alexander de Morais, without bias at the expected legal measures,” he says.
