Judge Moro orders forensic analysis to extract data on Lula from Odebrecht's bribery scheme.

Paraná 247 - Federal Judge Sérgio Moro denied former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's defense team access to the files of the Drousys and MyWebDay systems, used in parallel accounting related to the transfer of bribe payments from the Odebrecht construction company. Despite the denial, Moro ordered that the digital files be subject to forensic analysis and instructed the Federal Police to carry out procedures to extract "documents or entries that may be related to the subject of the criminal action." This part of the material will be accessible to Lula's lawyers.

"It is not feasible to provide a copy of the Drousys or MyWebDay systems to the defense of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva or to any other," Moro justified this Wednesday (13), the date on which the former president was questioned about the alleged receipt of illicit benefits paid by the construction company.

According to the judge's justification in his ruling, Moro emphasizes that "in addition to the technical difficulty, since there are several hard drives, the systems contain information that is relevant to several other criminal proceedings and investigations that are underway and yet to be initiated, including some that are subject to other jurisdictions." "Providing a copy could, therefore, prejudice ongoing investigations or investigations yet to be initiated," he added.

Moro also ruled that partial access for the former president's defense should be granted through the appointment of a technical assistant to monitor the forensic examination by the Federal Police technicians, and that "the extraction of copies from the system that do not pertain to the case in question is prohibited."
