Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes validated on Friday (June 5) a non-prosecution agreement (ANPP) — a mechanism that suspends criminal proceedings in exchange for compliance with conditions — signed between the Attorney General's Office and state deputy Sargento Rodrigues (PL-MG), defendant for participation in the January 8, 2023 acts. ◦

"O ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal, validou na 6ª feira (5.jun.2026) um ANPP (acordo de não persecução penal) firmado entre a Procuradoria Geral da República e o deputado estadual de Minas Gerais Sargento Rodrigues (PL) para suspender a ação penal em que o congressista é réu por participação no 8 de Janeiro."
To obtain the agreement, the deputy admitted guilt for three crimes: inciting animosity of the Armed Forces against the established powers, attacking the integrity of the electoral system, and criminal association. According to the PGR's complaint, accepted last year by the STF's First Panel, Rodrigues attacked the electoral process on social media and incited military personnel to stage a coup. ✓

"Para isso, o deputado precisou assumir a culpa pelos crimes de incitar animosidade das Forças Armadas contra os poderes instituídos, atacar a higidez do sistema eleitoral e associação criminosa. De acordo com denúncia da PGR, que foi aceita no ano passado pela Primeira Turma do Supremo, Rodrigues atacou de maneira consciente, e em conjunto com centenas de pessoas, o processo eleitoral nas redes sociais, bem como incitou os militares a dar golpe de Estado."
In the decision, Moraes applied a proportionality test, stating that the ANPP is a "sufficient, necessary and proportional measure to reprove and prevent the crime, given the conditions provided." The deputy must perform 150 hours of community service, pay R$ 5,000 in compensation, attend a course on democracy (12 hours), and not use open social media until all conditions are met. ?

"Na decisão, o ministro Alexandre de Moraes observou que, no caso, o ANPP é medida suficiente, necessária e proporcional para reprovar e prevenir o crime, em razão das condições previstas."
The ANPP was regulated in 2019 in the Criminal Procedure Code for non-violent crimes with minimum sentences under 4 years. In the context of the January 8, 2023 acts, when the headquarters of the Three Powers were invaded by supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro, the agreements became a PGR tool to handle the large number of cases against people who incited crimes but did not directly participate in vandalism. ✓

"O ANPP foi criado e regulamentado em 2019, sendo inserido por lei no Código de Processo Penal (CPP). Pela legislação, o MP tem a opção de não oferecer denúncia contra crimes não violentos e com pena mínima inferior a 4 anos, entre outros requisitos, em troca do investigado assumir a autoria dos delitos e cumprir as condições também previstas em lei. No contexto dos atos violentos de 8 de janeiro de 2023, quando as sedes dos Três Poderes foram invadidas e depredadas por apoiadores do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, os ANPPs foram um dos caminhos encontrados pela PGR para lidar com o grande número de processos contra pessoas que não tiveram participação direta em atos de vandalismo, mas que incitaram os crimes."

-
What is the STF case number and whether the decision was monocratic or collegiate?
Why it's still unknown: Sources consulted do not provide formal case identification nor whether there was First Panel deliberation or individual decision by Moraes.
-
How many other January 8 defendants could seek similar agreements and what is the MPF's position on this modality?
Why it's still unknown: No source quantifies the universe of defendants in similar procedural situations or reports whether there is institutional resistance from MPF to ANPPs for crimes against democracy.
-
Whether the decision creates binding precedent for other January 8-related incitement cases?
Why it's still unknown: Articles do not clarify whether Moraes' application of the proportionality test establishes jurisprudence that other justices must follow in analogous cases.
