247 - Supreme Court Justice Marco Aurélio Mello avoided commenting on Tuesday, the 29th, about the possibility of the Supreme Court President, Justice Cármen Lúcia, bringing the impeachment request against Justice Gilmar Mendes to a plenary session for judgment.
"I'm not talking about that. I'm not talking about that boy," said Marco Aurélio.
Last week, the Attorney General of the Republic, Rodrigo Janot, filed a lawsuit requesting that Gilmar Mendes not participate in the proceedings involving businessmen Jacob Barata Filho and Lélis Teixeira, who are under investigation in Operation Ponto Final. According to Janot, Gilmar would lack impartiality in the case because of his close relationship with both men.
On Monday, the 28th, Cármen Lúcia asked Gilmar Mendes to comment on Janot's requests. According to the Attorney General, in 2013 the minister was the godfather at the wedding of Beatriz Barata, daughter of Jacob Barata Filho, to Francisco Feitosa Filho. The groom was the nephew of Guiomar Mendes, who is married to Gilmar.
