Rio Grande do Sul 247 - Congressman Henrique Fontana (PT-RS) believes that Supreme Court Justice Gilmar Mendes and Michel Temer are working together to get former Speaker of the House Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ) out of jail.

"I believe that Gilmar Mendes and Temer are working together to get Eduardo Cunha out of prison as soon as possible. He's blackmailing people with his plea bargain," the congressman posted on Twitter.

The Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) was scheduled to judge this Wednesday, the 8th, an appeal in which Cunha's defense requests the release of the ousted congressman, who has been imprisoned since October. Behind the scenes, the information was that the judgment was postponed because the ministers wanted to release Cunha, but wanted to delay the decision, since the proximity to the death of Minister Teori Zavascki could cause embarrassment. This Thursday, the 9th, the appeal was again not judged.
