In the field of investigations of Operation Occidental, the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) designates six “criminal nuclei” commanded by judges of the Bahia Court of Justice (TJ-BA). Judges Lígia Maria Cunha Lima and Ilona Reis were temporarily detained on Monday 14.
The Secretary of Public Security, Maurício Barbosa, his chief of staff, Gabriela Macedo, and the prosecutor Ediene Lousado, former attorney general of Bahia, were dismissed for a year.
The Lígia Maria nucleus would be operated by his sons Rui Carlos Barata Lima Filho and Arthur Gabriel Barata Lima, in addition to the lawyer Diego Ribeiro, while the Ilona group would have as operators the lawyers Marcelo Junqueira Ayres Filho and Fabrício da Veiga. The core of Judge Sandra Inês Rusciolelli, the previous target of the operation, would have as operator her son Vasco Rusciolelli; and that of judge Ivanilton Santos da Silva, also dismissed on Monday, would be operated on by his son Ivanilton Santos da Silva Júnior. The groups of Gesivaldo Britto and Maria do Socorro Barreto Santiago, both former court presidents, are also cited.
Daughter of María do Socorro, former timbalada singer Amanda Santiago was one of the targets of 16 search and seizure warrants carried out on Monday. According to the investigation, Amanda made unusual movements, on the order of R $ 8 million, even with declared income of only 1,000 reais.
In his decision, Minister Og Fernandes, of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), wrote that “the evidence deposited in the file reveals the alleged existence of a criminal judicial mechanism within the Bahia Court of Justice, which has the sale of decisions as merchandise for illicit enrichment on a geometric scale ”.
According to the MPF, systemic corruption “did not stop” after the outbreak of westerns, in November last year, and, on the contrary, “decreased competition” with the dismissal of judges Gesivaldo Britto, Maria do Socorro Barreto Santiago, Sandra Inês Rusciolelli, Maria da Graça Osório and José Olegário Caldas
