I don't speak Portuguese, but this article just says he was a sanitation worker who stormed the government buildings with others, it doesn't say if he did any specific organisation or violence.

Compare and contrast that 17 years sentence with the sentences of ~5 years Jan 6th US rioters have received, because it's almost the exact same situation. Very interesting.
