Dallagnol criticizes Supreme Court decision regarding Aécio: 'new protection'
Prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol criticized the Supreme Court's decision to leave the decision on the removal of Senator Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG) to the Senate; "Parliamentarians have privileged jurisdiction, immunity from arrest, and a new protection: a shield against Supreme Court decisions, given by the Supreme Court itself," he stated.
247 - Prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol criticized the Supreme Federal Court's decision to leave the Senate to decide on the removal of Senator Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG), who was caught on tape asking for R$ 2 million in bribes from businessman Joesley Batista, one of the partners of JBS.
"Parliamentarians have privileged jurisdiction, immunity from arrest, and a new protection: a shield against decisions of the Supreme Federal Court, given by the Supreme Federal Court itself," he stated.
In May of this year, Aécio refuted the accusation. "The proposal was, first of all, to sell an apartment owned by the family to the executive. It should also be noted that the senator's intention was always, when selling the apartment, to reimburse the businessman," he said in a statement.
