Moraes authorizes Federal Police to use evidence leaked by Bolsonaro in investigation into digital militias.
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said he sees "similarities" in the conduct analyzed by those involved in the two investigations.
247 - Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized the sharing of evidence from the inquiry into the leak of confidential data from the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) by Jair Bolsonaro with investigations into the actions of a digital militia against democracy and institutions, such as the Supreme Court itself. The militia inquiry was opened last year.
"I find the request from the police authority to be pertinent, particularly given the identity of the agents investigated in these proceedings and the similarity of the modus operandi of the conduct analyzed here with that investigated in Inquiries 4.874/DF and 4.888/DF, both under my jurisdiction," he said. The content of the decision was published by... The Antagonist website.
"It is generally understood that it is possible to share information gathered during a criminal investigation to support another criminal proceeding," he added.
Bolsonaro is being investigated for leaking classified information on his social media accounts, in an attempt to undermine the credibility of electronic voting machines. His intention was to conduct a kind of campaign for paper ballots.
Last week, Federal Police (PF) delegate Denisse Ribeiro sent Moraes the conclusion of the investigations into the leak of PF data concerning the hacker attack on the TSE. She accused Bolsonaro of committing a crime. The leak was attributed to federal deputy Filipe Barros (PSL-PR) and presidential aide Mauro Cid.
