Brasilia – Objective of representations in the Senate Ethics Council and of having to defend himself from a complaint from the Public Ministry of Rio de Janeiro, referring to the case of the “crackers”, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicans-RJ) resigned as Third Party – Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Chamber.
In a document sent to the President of the Chamber, Davi Alcolumbre (DEM), on December 11, the son of the President of the Republic did not provide any justification for the request to resign. He only informed that he would leave his position as of December 14.
However, internally, the senators evaluate the dismissal as a way, found by Flávio, to “reduce the pressure” on the cases in which he is investigated. In addition, in February next year, the Senate will elect a new composition for the Board of Directors. Less than two months after the end of the mandate of the Third Secretary, the resignation of the post was already a measure expected by the senator’s fellow party members, as a way to “get out of the focus of the press and the objective of the Ethics Council.” .
Last Friday (18), Minister Cármen Lúcia, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), determined that the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) investigate the accusations that the general director of Abin, Alexandre Ramagem, directed to the defense of Flávio in the case of “crackers”.
The president’s son is investigated by the Rio deputy on suspicion of commanding a scheme that diverted the salaries of the employees of his office in the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) during the period in which the so-called “rachadinha was a state deputy. “. Flávio denies the accusations.
The minister also set a period of 30 days for the PGR to inform the Supreme Court of the “actions actually taken to clarify the facts.” In an interview with Época magazine published on Friday 18, the lawyer for the parliamentarian, Luciana Pires, admits to having received an informal report from Ramage giving coordinates on how to act to try to clarify Flávio in the case.
Shortly after Carmen’s decision, Rede and PSB petitioned the Supreme Court to remove Ramage from office. According to the parties, “the fear of the existence of a parallel Abin is actually materializing in the real world.” “Parallel, unofficial, unregistered complaints are made, without a trace of control of legality and constitutionality, but using public servants and Abin systems, with the apparent sole purpose of promoting the personal goals of the President. , who must belong to the Republic, and their family members ”, indicate the initials.
Ethics Council
On the Senate Ethics Council, Flávio is the target of at least two representations. One of them, carried out by PSOL and signed by PT and Rede, has been waiting for its continuation for about ten months.
The document cites an interview by the alternate senator and former ally, Paulo Marinho, to the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper in May this year, when he says that Flávio was informed of Operation Furna da Onça before it happened. The speech was presented by the authors of the representation as a “new fact”.
Another front of investigation against Flávio in the Ethics Council has its origin in the case of crackers and calls for the indictment of the senator. Following the arrest of Fabrício Queiroz, his former adviser when he was Alerj state deputy, the political parties have been pressing for the collegiate to investigate the conduct of the parliamentarian, based on stagnant representations since February.
