247 - Police officer Edmar Camata, who was to command the Federal Highway Police but lost the position due to posts favorable to Lava Jato, granted interview In an interview with journalist Bela Megale of Globo, he stated that the operation had lost its way. "The posts reflected the interpretation of a particular moment, and I think many Brazilians believed in Lava Jato. I believe that almost all Brazilians are against corruption. Lava Jato, at some point, mirrored the hope of fighting corruption in the country, but it ended up losing its way," he said.
Regarding the posts in which he defended the imprisonment of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, he was evasive. "That was an interpretation of the moment. To have an opinion on this today, one needs to look closely at what was decided in those processes. Any opinion I give could be misinterpreted. But it's a fact that, in the name of fighting corruption, one cannot overstep the guarantees that are in the law," he stated.
