BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's Attorney General, Raquel Dodge, said on Tuesday that the legislation makes it clear that the termination of plea bargain agreements does not invalidate the evidence obtained through the collaboration.
The statement comes at a time when Supreme Court Justice Edson Fachin is reviewing a request from former Attorney General Rodrigo Janot to rescind the plea bargain agreement with J&F executives that served as the basis for accusations against President Michel Temer.
Dodge, who took over as Attorney General of the Republic just over a week ago, said in a press conference that she is still familiarizing herself with the content of the plea bargain agreements made by her predecessor, Rodrigo Janot, and said that the current moment is one of studying the documents of these agreements, many of which have not yet been ratified.
