Marcos Rogério: So, once there were no elements to indict him, the defense thought that his release, his liberation from custody, would be the most natural thing in the world.
Marcos Rogério: So they filed a petition with the reporting judge to release Bolsonaro, because he was not indicted, because, at that time, no crime was found that could justify his detention and the precautionary measures that were imposed on him.
And, to no one's surprise – I would not like to say this phrase, but to no one's surprise, because for this magistrate there is no Constitution, there is no law; the law is what he says, the Constitution is what he speaks – he simply decides, contrary to what was in the course of the proceedings, and says: "No, he must remain detained to guarantee the possibility of applying criminal law", that is, he is presupposing that he will be convicted.
Marcos Rogério: And here there is a doubt: is he referring to this process, this action, this inquiry in which, in the criminal action, he was not indicted – is he referring to the possibility of conviction in an action in which Bolsonaro is not even accused – or is he referring to another process and taking advantage of this situation to guarantee the application of criminal law in another case?
Marcos Rogério: See the very Brazilian absurdity we are witnessing in Brazil at this moment – look!
