Vorcaro's defense demands release analysis by Gilmar

TL;DR

  • Daniel Vorcaro's defense is challenging STF President Edson Fachin's handling of his release request.
  • They argue the request should be analyzed by Gilmar Mendes or returned to the original rapporteur, André Mendonça.
  • Vorcaro has been in preventive detention since March 4th, with no formal charges filed.
  • The defense claims Fachin's retention of the case is unprecedented and constitutes an "unacceptable exceptional judgment."
  • They are seeking the immediate granting of habeas corpus or alternative precautionary measures.
  • The defense also requests the annulment of all single-judge decisions retaining the process.
  • The PGR, however, has argued for the maintenance of Vorcaro's preventive detention.
