The Office of the Attorney General (PGR) asked the Supreme Federal Court (STF), this Saturday (9), to receive the complete recording of a meeting between Jair Bolsonaro and the ministers on April 22, at the Planalto Palace.
The meeting is cited by former Minister of Justice and Public Security, Sergio Moro, as evidence that Bolsonaro had attempted to interfere with the autonomy of the Federal Police. At the meeting, the president demanded reports of police operations and replacements at PF command posts.
In the petition, filed on an urgent basis and signed by Attorney General Augusto Aras, the PGR requests that the material be shared before prosecutors begin to listen to new witnesses. The first deposition is scheduled for 10 am on Monday (11).
On Friday night, the Attorney General’s Office (AGU) handed over to Minister Celso de Mello, rapporteur of the case in the STF, what he said was the entire meeting recorded.
The material was kept confidential until it was analyzed, unlike the other materials in this survey, which are public. It will be up to Celso de Mello to decide whether and when the secret will be broken.
AGU delivers to STF the video of the ministerial meeting on April 22
Before receiving the media, Celso de Mello asked the PGR for a position on the AGU’s three “reactions” to the determination that the video be released.
Over the past week, AGU has tried to ask:
- for Celso de Mello reconsider the decision;
- be authorized to deliver only the section related to Sergio Moro;
- know in advance which authorities would have access to the records.
In the response sent, the PGR says that it has no way of giving an opinion on the possibility of partial surrender, or on the decree of secrecy, without knowing the content of the material.
“In fact, any judgment of the Office of the Attorney General regarding documentary confidentiality requires prior knowledge of its content by the ministerial body, while observing the content of binding statement 14 of the Summary of the Federal Supreme Court” , says the PGR.
As of Saturday afternoon, the STF’s virtual system did not indicate that any of these requests had been proven, as Celso de Mello was still awaiting the position of the Office of the Attorney General.
Sergio Moro announced his resignation on April 24. In the ad, he accused President Jair Bolsonaro of trying to interfere with the Federal Police. In light of the statements, the Attorney General’s Office asked, and the STF opened an investigation to investigate the charges. Bolsonaro denies having committed irregularities.
Moro gave a statement of more than eight hours, on the last day 2, at the Federal Police Superintendency (PF) in Curitiba. He was asked about the allegations that Bolsonaro tried to interfere in the work of the Federal Police (PF) and in consultations related to family members. The charges were made by the former minister when he announced his departure from government on April 24.
Moro’s testimony was motivated by an investigation opened by Minister Celso de Mello, at the request of the Office of the Attorney General (PGR), to determine if Bolsonaro tried to interfere politically in the PF.
This alleged interference was the reason why Moro pointed out in a statement for leaving the government. The former minister made this announcement when the “Diário Oficial da União” published the dismissal of the director general of the PF, the delegate Mauricio Valeixo. According to the former minister, he had no prior knowledge of the director’s resignation.
