247 – Judge Cristina Serra Feijó, of the 33rd Civil Court of Rio, justified the decision that prohibited TV Globo from showing any document or part of the lawsuit against Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicans-RJ) related to the investigation of the “cracked” scheme, alleging that the “undue exposure of a confidential document” could compromise the investigations and affect the “public image” of the parliamentarian.
The measure, however, was classified as censorship by the Brazilian Press Association (ABI), the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji) and the National Association of Newspapers (ANJ).
According to a UOL report, the magistrate stated in the decision that prohibited the exhibition of the reports that the case “does not refer to freedom of the press” and, therefore, cannot be classified as “prior censorship.” “The undue exposure of a confidential document or the disclosure of information protected by confidentiality can compromise the health of the investigation,” it highlights.

The court decision responded to a request from the senator’s defense that alleged that Globo’s reports on the “cracking” scheme that involved Flávio Bolsonaro when he was a state deputy in Rio ‘exceed’ the limits of freedom of the press by exhibiting “confidential documents”. “Such as bank statements and income tax returns that make” conclusions about stocks and financial transactions. “
In a note, Feijó assured that his decision was technical and “does not determine the censorship of previously broadcast content, much less the removal of complaints from the air.”
