Moraes grants semi-open status to Débora do Batom and maintains home detention
Decision recognizes 212 days of penalty reduction for work, reading and approval in Enem; hairdresser was sentenced for acts of January 8
The minister Alexandre de Moraes, of Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), authorized the progression to the semi-open regime of Débora Rodrigues dos Santos, known as “Débora do Lipstick”. The decision, signed on October 2 and reported on Tuesday, keeps the hairdresser under house arrest, a modality considered by the magistrate the most beneficial for the fulfillment of the sentence.
Deborah was sentenced to 14 years in prison for her participation in the acts of January 8, 2023. She was known for writing the phrase “lost, mané” with red lipstick on the statue “Justice”, located in front of the Supreme Court’s headquarters in Brasilia.
Work and study ensured abatement
In the decision, Moraes recognized 212 days of remission, a mechanism that allows part of the sentence to be deducted for activities such as work, study and reading. Of this total, 108 days correspond to the work carried out during the period in which Debora was in prison units of São Paulo.
The approval of Enem for Persons Deprived of Freedom in 2023 secured another 100 days, while participation in a reading project added four days.

Added to the two days previously recognized, the reductions reach 214 days. The minister, however, rejected a new request for remission for approval in Enem 2024, because he believed that it would represent a duplication of the benefit for the same level of education.
Requirements for progression
To grant the semi-open, Moraes considered the time fulfilled and the recognized reductions. The calculation reached four years, one month and 16 days on October 1, exceeding the requirement of 25% of the sentence.
The magistrate also recorded the absence of faults during house arrest and violations of monitoring measures in the period analyzed. The Prosecutor General’s Office had expressed itself in favour of progress and remission.
The conviction involves five crimes: violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, coup d’état, qualified damage, deterioration of fallen property and armed criminal association.
