The University of La Coruña, in Spain, denied the existence of a postgraduate course presented in the curriculum of Judge Kassio Nunes Marques, appointed by President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) for the vacancy in the Supreme Court (STF). The information was published today by the newspaper “O Estado de S. Paulo”.
In the study plan, published on the website of the Federal Regional Court of the First Region (TRF-1), Marques claims to have completed a postgraduate degree in “Public Procurement” from the University of La Coruña.
To the newspaper, the institution said that “it did not teach any postgraduate course under the name of Postgraduate in Public Contracting.

Asked whether Kassio Nunes Marques participated in any activity, the university provided a copy of a certificate, which shows that the judge participated only in a four-day course, between September 1 and 5, 2014. Kassio Marques also did not respond to the requests for clarifications made by the vehicle.
THE Twitter contacted TRF-1’s notice, by email and phone, and is waiting for a response. The report also contacted Assistant Judge Kassio Nunes Marques, but with no response until the matter was concluded.
Criticism of the statement
The nomination of Kassio Nunes has been questioned by some supporters of Bolsonaro (without a party), who see the judge far from the conservative evangelical profile that the president himself had announced for the first vacancy in the STF.
Kassio Nunes is seen as a close name to “centão”, a group of parties that have approached President Bolsonaro in recent months, with greater participation in federal government positions and growing support for the Planalto agenda.
To take office, he must go through a hearing at the CCJ (Constitution and Justice Commission) of the Senate and have his name approved by the Chamber.
Decotelli case
This is not the first time that a minister in the Bolsonaro government has questioned his resume. In July, Professor Carlos Alberto Decotelli, who was appointed Minister of Education, but did not swear in, admitted “technical flaws” in his study plan, but reaffirmed that he was a professor at the FGV (Fundação Getúlio Vargas).
Decotelli’s appointment was even published in the Official Gazette, shortly after he was appointed by President Jair Bolsonaro (no party). But the inauguration was postponed because educational institutions denied academic degrees that the professor had included in the curriculum itself.
Universities in Argentina and Germany denied the information that he had completed a doctorate and a postdoctorate in the respective institutions. The accusations of plagiarism also emerged in the master’s thesis presented by the former minister to the FGV (Fundação Getulio Vargas). The revelations made his term in government untenable and Decotelli resigned before formally taking over the ministry.
