Judge who attacked Marielle criticizes OAS and supports Bolsonaro.

Judge Marília de Castro Neves of the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice, who is under investigation by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) for her social media posts, has once again become the target of controversy after publishing messages of support for presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PSL), which is prohibited by the institution. She believes the Inter-American Council for Human Rights should "suck a screw until it turns into a nail" for ordering the reopening of investigations into the death of journalist Vladimir Herzog in 1975, during the military dictatorship.

247 - Judge Marília de Castro Neves of the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice, who is being investigated by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) for statements made through social media posts, has once again become the target of controversy after publishing messages of support for presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PSL), which is prohibited by the institution.

In the post, Marília says that the Inter-American Council for Human Rights should "suck on a screw until it turns into a nail" for having ordered the reopening of investigations into the death of journalist Vladimir Herzog in 1975, during the military dictatorship.

The investigations by the CNJ (National Council of Justice) against the judge began after she published fake news about Rio de Janeiro city councilwoman Marielle Franco (PSOL), who was murdered along with her driver in March of this year, and for publishing offensive comments against federal deputy Jean Wyllys and people with Down syndrome.

The posts supporting Bolsonaro began on the 30th, when the TV Cultura program Roda Viva aired an interview with the candidate. "Go Bolsonaro Go!!! Let's make Brazil great again!!!" Marília posted.
In another post, the judge wrote that Bolsonaro was "beating up this bunch of communists [referring to the interviewers]" and showing "why he is the myth."

In total, Marília is facing five lawsuits before the CNJ (National Council of Justice).
