It's no joke: Temer says Brazil will suffer irreparable damage if Moreira is not appointed minister.
In the appeal filed by the Attorney General's Office (AGU) against the decision that suspended the appointment of Moreira Franco to the General Secretariat of the Presidency, Michel Temer said that the removal of his ally could cause "irreparable damage to the country"; the AGU argues that maintaining the injunction could cause "serious harm to public and administrative order"; "With all due respect, there is nothing in the records that gives the slightest indication that the presidential act aimed to obstruct justice," the appeal states; identified as the recipient of millions of reais in bribes from Odebrecht, "Angorá" gained privileged jurisdiction just three days after the Odebrecht plea bargains were approved.
247 - In the appeal filed by the Attorney General's Office (AGU) against the decision that suspended the appointment of Moreira Franco to the General Secretariat of the Presidency, Michel Temer said that the removal of his ally could cause "irreparable damage to the country."
In its appeal, the Attorney General's Office (AGU) argues that maintaining the injunction could cause "serious harm to public and administrative order." "With all due respect, there is nothing in the records that gives the slightest indication that the presidential act aimed to obstruct justice," the AGU's appeal states.
Identified in Odebrecht's spreadsheets as "Angorá," Moreira Franco is accused of receiving a R$4 million bribe from the construction company in 2014, when he was Minister of Civil Aviation, and gained parliamentary immunity just three days after Odebrecht's plea bargains were approved.
