PT (Workers' Party) denounces Dallagnol for working in partnership with the FBI.
A report by Agência Pública and The Intercept revealed that Deltan Dallagnol worked illegally with US law enforcement to destroy Brazilian engineering companies.
247 - The PT filed a complaint this Friday (3) with the Attorney General's Office to denounce the illegal cooperation agreement signed between the Lava Jato task force in Curitiba and the FBI, the Federal Police of the United States, as revealed by Vaza Jato, in a report. produced by Agência Pública in partnership with The Intercept. This Thursday (2), the prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol stated he did not remember. whether the FBI operated on national soil during the operation.
The PT's lawyers responsible for the lawsuit, Eugênio Aragão - former Minister of Justice and former Public Prosecutor - and Ângelo Ferraro, argue that Lava Jato acted illegally, disrespecting the central authority of the Ministry of Justice, to promote a targeted and criminal prosecution against former President Lula.
The action at the Attorney General's Office is against prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol, coordinator of Lava Jato, and Vladimir Aras, and also includes a disciplinary complaint against both. The document accuses Dallagnol of the crimes of prevarication, abuse of authority, and criminal leniency. The action was brought by the national president of the PT (Workers' Party), Gleisi Hoffmann.
“Unmasked and demoralized, the prosecutors and former judge Sérgio Moro will have to face justice,” says Gleisi. Eugênio Aragão says that the suspicions against Dallagnol are very serious because they show that Lava Jato acted in absolute illegality and out of control. “By sharing information unofficially with American FBI agents, the task force disrespected national sovereignty and illegally used confidential data from Brazilian companies,” criticizes Eugênio Aragão.
“Cooperation between Brazil and the US is regulated by an agreement between the two countries, the MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty), signed on October 14, 1997, and enacted in Brazil through Decree 3.810/2001, having the force of federal law,” says the lawyer and former public prosecutor. Aragão points out that the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office has no constitutional or legal authority to spontaneously and autonomously promote foreign relations.
The PT also intends to file a public civil action. In the first instance, the complaint is also against the prosecutors. The disciplinary complaint is addressed to the Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras, and targets Dallagnol and prosecutor Vladimir Aras. Aragão requests the initiation of an ethical and disciplinary process before the National Council of the Public Prosecutor's Office (CNMP). The lawyer says that Dallagnol was warned that direct cooperation with FBI agents, without the knowledge and consent of the Central Authority of the Executive Branch, was an illegal practice. And yet he acted outside the law.
