They shook Brazil and its institutions this weekend and are already "liberated".
Half a thousand people arrested after the assault on official buildings in Brasilia on Sunday who were confined to a gymnasium of the National Academy of Federal Police came out to take buses which brought them to a bus station from where they were able to return home according to AFP.
In one of the buses, the passengers shouted "Victory is ours!"
Some have reached out of the windows, clenching their fists or making the V for victory.
The Federal Police confirmed in a statement that 599 people had been released "for humanitarian reasons", including the elderly, people with health problems or mothers with young children.
Not all the coaches leaving the Federal Police Academy went to the bus station.
Some have taken those arrested to a police station, for them to be transferred to the Papuda prison complex, where 527 suspects have been imprisoned.

The Brasilia attack "is the translation of a drift of Brazil during the last fifteen years"
"Nazi Concentration Camp"
“The Federal Police Training School has been turned into a Nazi concentration camp.
It's humiliating to see how good people like us have been treated,” said one of the freed bolsonarists, Agostinho Ribeiro, as he got out of a bus at the bus station.
A woman who wished to remain anonymous gave a completely different version.
“Everyone was treated well, nobody died there,” she said.
The Federal Police has denied the information that an elderly person arrested died Monday in the headquarters of his academy.
The authorities reported some 1,500 arrests in total, between Bolsonarists who invaded the Presidential Palace, the Supreme Court or Congress, and those who were in a camp in front of Army headquarters.
The invasion and ransacking of places of power in Brasilia, reminiscent of those of the Capitol in Washington two years ago, caused considerable material damage, especially to priceless works of art.
