In 2016, the lawyer Nythalmar Dias Ferreira Filho, who was searched and seized in Lava Jato on Friday (23), was involved in petty theft cases. His office was at the back of a stationery store in Campo Grande, in the West Zone of Rio.
As of August of that year, by defending Edno Negrini -investigated on suspicion of irregularities at Eletronuclear-, Nythalmar was given another status. Now, at the age of 30, he has clients who are mostly investigated by Lava Jato do RJ. One of them is the former president of the Chamber of Deputies Eduardo Cunha (see below for a list of these clients).

Federal Police said the lawsuit involving the lawyer is secret, so they have not detailed why Nythalmar is being investigated or what alleged crime he had committed.
THE G1 He found that the lawyer approached potential clients saying that he would have wide access to Judge Marcelo Bretas, head of the 7th Federal Criminal Court of RJ and responsible for Lava Jato in the state. The lawyer promised to get lighter sentences, benefits to serve prison time, and charged high fees for doing so.
Marcelo Bretas was not the target of the operation and said he would not comment.
THE G1 It also found that, when executing the orders this Friday, the agents looked for documents or evidence to prove the crimes of influence peddling and exploitation of prestige with public agents.
The police were at addresses linked to Nythalmar, in the neighborhoods of Campo Grande, Centro, Catete and Ipanema, one of these locations is an office next to the old stationery.
In Ipanema, agents entered a building accompanied by a lawyer from the Federal Public Ministry and representatives from the Brazilian Bar Association.
In the search and seizure order, issued by the 3rd Federal Criminal Court of Rio, Judge Rosália Monteiro Figueira ordered the seizure of documents, computers and any record related to two crimes:
- Art. 332: Request, demand, collect or obtain, for oneself or for others, an advantage or promise of advantage, under the pretext of influencing an act performed by a public official in the exercise of the function.
- Article 357: Request or receive money or any other utility, with the pretext of influencing a judge, jury, prosecutor, official, expert, translator, interpreter or witness.
Nythalmar’s methods and criticism of other lawyers led him to the Ethics and Discipline Court of the OAB in Rio. The representation against him, made by another lawyer, is being evaluated and the process is confidential.
