Silvinei Vasques, former Federal Highway Police director sentenced to over 24 years in prison for the 2022 coup plot, was transferred to Papudinha prison in Brasília after his arrest in Paraguay during a failed flight attempt to El Salvador using a fake passport. Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered house arrests for 10 other defendants to curb similar escapes.
