247 - Technicians from the Attorney General's Office (PGR) arrived in Curitiba this Tuesday (21) to copy the database of Operation Lava Jato. 

The task force's trip to the capital city follows a decision by the Supreme Federal Court that mandated the sharing of information with the Attorney General's Office.

The staff will have access to 500 terabytes of data at the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office and another 500 at the Federal Police, and will then return to Brasília to analyze the information. The main objective is to identify if any irregularities were committed by authorities.

On the 9th of this month, in a decision that dealt a blow to Lava Jato, The president of the Supreme Federal Court, Dias Toffoli, determined that the prosecutors share all the data already collected by the operation with the Attorney General's Office.

Prosecutor Deltan Dallangol, coordinator of the task force, criticized Toffoli's decision at the time, despite saying that he would comply.
