Gaspari demands Odebrecht testify against the Judiciary.
"If no Odebrecht executive spoke about the Judiciary, it may have been because they weren't asked anything. There could be functional reasons why questions in that direction weren't asked. Cunning leaks like the alleged testimony involving Minister José Antonio Toffoli give the impression that, even without noisy references, there is some parallel, secret, and intimidating file," writes columnist Elio Gaspari, commenting on the recent statements by former STJ minister Eliane Calmon, who stated that "it's impossible to take this testimony seriously if it doesn't mention a single magistrate."
247 - "If no Odebrecht executive spoke about the Judiciary, it may have been because they weren't asked anything. There could be functional reasons why questions in that direction weren't asked. Cunning leaks, such as that of an alleged deposition involving Minister José Antonio Toffoli, give the impression that, even without noisy references, there is some parallel, secret, and intimidating file," writes the author. columnist Elio Gaspari, commenting on the recent statements by former STJ (Superior Court of Justice) minister Eliane Calmon, who stated that "it is impossible to take this testimony seriously if it doesn't mention a single magistrate."
"Your incredulity exposes a statistical impossibility. Odebrecht remembered everything. They listed President Michel Temer and Lula, nine ministers and former ministers, 12 senators and former senators, four governors and former governors, 24 parliamentarians, three civil servants, two city councilors, and one businessman, all linked to the Executive and Legislative branches or to politics. From the Judiciary, nothing."
Eliana Calmon, like Odebrecht, is from Bahia. As the Inspector General of the National Council of Justice, she was a force to be reckoned with. Before the emergence of Lava Jato, the minister arrested contractors, clashed with colleagues, and denounced the network of children of ministers of superior courts who practice law in Brasília.
Calmon's statement to Boechat added fuel to the fire. The National Justice Ombudsman, Minister João Otavio de Noronha, is reportedly willing to open an investigation into the campaign finances of his former colleague (the two had a falling out when they worked together at the court).
This fight will be good, and the victory will belong to the stands.
