Bolsonaro's inner circle attacks Gilmar to push forward Moro's package.
The Brazilian Federal Revenue Service is working to identify "foci of corruption, money laundering, concealment of assets, or influence peddling" involving Gilmar Mendes and his wife, Guiomar; one of the main orchestrators of the coup against President Dilma Rousseff in 2015-2016, Gilmar has now become a target of the government for which he paved the way.
247 - The Brazilian Federal Revenue Service is working to identify "foci of corruption, money laundering, concealment of assets, or influence peddling" involving Gilmar Mendes and his wife, Guiomar. One of the key figures in the coup against President Dilma Rousseff in 2015-2016, Gilmar has now become a target of the government he paved the way for.
The suspicion is contained in a May 2018 report, which "points to a change in the minister's assets of 696.396 reais and concludes that Guiomar 'shows signs of money laundering'." This information comes from Veja magazine.
The government's action is a clear preparation to attack the Supreme Court minister who has systematically disagreed with the former judge from Curitiba, now Minister of Justice and Public Security in Jair Bolsonaro's far-right government.
In 2016, Minister Gilmar Mendes clashed with Moro in a debate about the "ten anti-corruption measures." On many other occasions, Gilmar Mendes has been a critic of the former judge's illegalities and arbitrary actions.
