Brazil's Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes has officially closed the investigation into Dhebora Azevedo, the sister of Lieutenant Colonel Rodrigo Bezerra, known by the nickname 'kid preto,' who was apprehended attempting to smuggle electronics into a military battalion in a panettone box. Following her attempt made in January 2025, which was thwarted by a metal detector, Dhebora claimed the devices were intended for her brother so he could listen to music while exercising during his imprisonment.

Moraes's decision allows Dhebora to resume visits to her brother, under certain conditions, specifically adhering to the regulations of the Brazilian Army’s Police Battalion, where Rodrigo Bezerra is incarcerated. The closing of this investigation comes amid the broader scrutiny surrounding military figures involved in alleged plots against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, suggesting that this case is part of a high-stakes investigation into coup-related activities.

The implication of this ruling raises concerns regarding security protocols at military facilities and the ongoing ties between family members of detained military figures and their attempts to influence or provide support to those incarcerated because of political incidents. As the legal proceedings unfold, the relationship between military protocols and civilian oversight remains a focal point in Brazil's ongoing political turbulence.
