With that, Felipe Neto’s testimony was suspended. The youtuber commented on the decision:
“I have always trusted the institutions and this decision only confirms that we still live in a democracy, in which a government official cannot, in a totally illegal way, use the police to coerce those who criticize him,” said Felipe Neto.
In a statement, the Civil Police said that it was not summoned, but it will respect the decision, and stressed that the work of the Office for the Execution of Police Crimes is “technical, based on the laws and without an ideological profile.”
“Every citizen who goes to the police station to make a crime report, taking coherent elements and a substantiated complaint, has the right to register the fact. The greatest proof that the work that the police station does is totally technical is that there are no 33 investigations in the course of people linked to politics who sought specialization and were promptly attended to, 15 from deputies affiliated with left-wing parties, 8 from deputies affiliated with right-wing parties and 10 from center parties, “says the note. .
The decision cites ‘illegality’
In the decision, Judge Gisele Guida de Faria, of the 38th Criminal Court of Rio, highlights that the jurisdiction of the case is not the Civil Police, but the Federal Police.
“It should also be mentioned that, in addition to the fact that the requested authority does not have an assignment for the investigation on screen, which is, I repeat, the Federal Police, attending, in theory, a crime committed against the honor of the President of the Republic and provided for in the National Security Law, its investigation could only be initiated at the request of the Public Ministry, the military authority responsible for internal security or the Minister of Justice ”.
He also described the investigation as “flagrant illegality”:
- Felipe Neto’s defense says that the investigation of the Civil Police for a crime against the National Security Law is illegal
- ‘The persecution is constant’, says Felipe Neto after summons for Carlos Bolsonaro’s complaint
“These elements seem to me sufficient, in my opinion, to demonstrate prima facie the existence of a flagrant illegality practiced by the authority, which does not have the necessary attribution to investigate the denounced facts, whose investigation could not even have been initiated, due to any procedural condition ”Said the judge.
