A pardon is a forgiveness of mercy and is usually bestowed annually on the approach of Christmas. It is intended for those who meet the requirements specified in the presidential decree.

Soares Júnior also states that the country's prison system is overcrowded.

The pardon granted by Temer in 2017 was challenged by the Prosecutor General of the Federal Supreme Court (STF). Judge Luís Roberto Barroso, of the court, suspended part of the effects of the Temer judgment until the plenary hearing was heard.

At a meeting held on November 29, the trial was postponed because Minister Luiz Fux had requested a hearing, that is, more time to badyze the case .

Earlier, the majority, six of the eleven ministers, had already voted in favor of maintaining the presidential decree and two were against it.

There is no date for resuming this judgment.

The decree signed by Temer last year reduced to one fifth the length of the sentence imposed on the detainee for crimes without violence or serious threat of benefiting from the benefit and obtaining freedom.
