The decision of the Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras, was communicated to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) after the Federal Public Ministry was provoked to demonstrate on a request for an investigation made by a lawyer.
A report in the daily “Folha de São Paulo” published in July this year showed that employees were fired and rehired on the same day and had increased salaries, which did not prevent their salaries from being cut by less than half a short time later.
“Upon having knowledge of the facts described in this petition, the news of the fact was established [apuração preliminar] within the scope of this Office of the Attorney General of the Nation, with the objective of its preliminary investigation, ”said the attorney general.
According to Aras, “in the event that sufficient evidence arises of a possible illegal practice by the represented party, the appropriate measures will be taken with this supreme court.”
Aras also assessed that the events are not related to Bolsonaro’s mandate, so it would be covered by the so-called temporary presidential immunity, which is provided for in the Constitution.
This rule establishes that the President of the Republic cannot be held responsible for events that occurred before assuming the ownership of the Executive, that is, that are not related to the exercise of their functions.
“However, it is noted in advance that the narrative developed by the announcer covers allegedly criminal events that occurred between 1991 and 2018 that are not related to the exercise of the presidential mandate, which began on January 1, 2019. Therefore For this reason, at present it is prohibited to initiate a criminal proceeding before the President of the Republic, given the prerogative referred to in art. 86, § 4, of the Federal Constitution, which establishes temporary immunity from criminal prosecution ”.
