The meeting was cited in the testimony of former Minister of Justice and Public Security, Sergio Moro, in the investigation investigating the alleged interference of President Jair Bolsonaro in the Federal Police.
In the second request on the STF issue, the AGU asked the rapporteur of the investigation to reconsider “the order to deliver a copy of the audiovisual records of the presidential meeting that took place on April 22, 2020, so that it is restricted only and only to any element that is the subject of this investigation. ”
The defense of former Minister Sergio Moro also called the Supreme Court and asked Minister Celso de Mello to maintain the order for the release of the information.
In the ex-minister’s lawyers’ opinion, the fact that the meeting has finally dealt with “matters of national relevance” cannot prevent the court from analyzing the recording in its entirety.
“Any shameful statement made by the President of the Republic, which can be verified during this meeting, on these or other matters discussed there, are not adequate reasons to avoid complying with His Excellency’s determination, since they are not revealed as’ secrets of state ‘(as mentioned by the AGU, which are linked, for example, to Foreign Affairs), these yes, once detected in the examination that His Excellency will carry out in said audiovisual records, subject to protection by partial secrecy ” attorneys said in the document.
The meeting was held on April 22 and was attended by President Jair Bolsonaro, Vice President Hamilton Mourão, Moro and other ministers.

At the same meeting, the president said that ifand he could not change the superintendent of the PF of Rio de Janeiro, so he could change the director general and the Minister of Justice himself. These meetings were recorded and included the participation of all Planalto ministers and staff officials.
In the determination, Mello declared: “The authorities that receive such letters must preserve the integrity of the content of said environmental recording (with audio and video signals), to prevent the elements contained in them from being altered, modified or even even deleted. Behold, the aforementioned recording constitutes evidential material intended to instruct, at the request of the Attorney General of the Republic, a criminal process. ”
Moro testified for more than eight hours on Saturday (2) at the Superintendency of the Federal Police (PF), in Curitiba. He was asked about the allegations that Bolsonaro tried to interfere in the work of the Federal Police (PF) and in consultations related to family members. The charges were made by the former minister when he announced his departure from government on April 24.
Moro’s testimony was motivated by an investigation opened by Minister Celso de Mello, at the request of the Office of the Attorney General (PGR), to determine if Bolsonaro tried to interfere politically in the PF.
This alleged interference was the reason why Moro pointed out in a statement for leaving the government. The former minister made this announcement when the “Diário Oficial da União” published the dismissal of the director general of the PF, the delegate Mauricio Valeixo. According to the former minister, he had no prior knowledge of the director’s resignation.
