DCM: The Supreme Court has a chance to put an end to the vigilante justice of Lava Jato.
Journalist Joaquim de Carvalho says in DCM that the most relevant piece of evidence in the case against Senator Gleisi Hoffmann (PT-PR) "is a video, recorded by the Federal Police, in which a whistleblower, Pieruccini, drives around the streets of Curitiba to recount where and how he distributed the money. Is that proof? Of course not."
247 - After recalling that the national president of the PT, Senator Glesi Hoffmann (PR), begins to be judged this Tuesday (19) by the Second Panel of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), together with former minister Paulo Bernardo, the senator's husband, and businessman Ernesto Kugler Rodrigues, journalist Joaquim de Carvalho states, in Diario do Centro do Mundo, "it is enough to read the memorial presented by the Attorney General's Office to see that there is not a single shred of evidence against Glesi". "What sustains the accusation of passive corruption is the word of informants".
"The word changed as versions were contested by Gleisi's defense. According to the indictment, Bernardo asked the former Petrobras director Paulo Roberto Costa, who tasked the money launderer Alberto Youssef with distributing the money (1 million reais). Youssef, in turn, passed the task to lawyer Antonio Carlos Brasil Fioravante Pieruccini, who traveled from São Paulo to Curitiba to make four deliveries of 250.000 reais to Ernesto Kugler Rodrigues, who allegedly participated in Gleisi's campaign," he recalls. "Looking at the summary of the process presented by the prosecutors (memorandum), the most relevant thing found is a video, recorded by the Federal Police, in which a whistleblower, Pieruccini, drives around the streets of Curitiba to recount where and how he distributed the money. Is that proof? Of course not."
