Vorcaro's defense demands Fachin analyze release request
Vorcaro's defense states that urgent requests are held at the STF presidency and asks Fachin to return the Master case to Mendonça.
TL;DR
- Daniel Vorcaro's defense is pushing for STF President Edson Fachin to allow Minister André Mendonça to review his preventive detention.
- The case was transferred to the STF presidency after Mendonça was removed as rapporteur, and it has remained there without a new assignment.
- Vorcaro has been detained for over eight months without formal charges or a criminal case.
- The defense argues that Vorcaro's continued detention violates constitutional and procedural rules, especially since other individuals in similar situations have been released.
- The defense has been informed that urgent requests should go to Mendonça, but his office states the files are still with the presidency.
- A petition has been filed requesting Fachin to either return the case files for urgent deliberation or formally authorize Mendonça to assess Vorcaro's freedom request.
