Witzel Uses Excerpts Similar to Wikipedia in Defense Delivered to Court in Impeachment | Rio de Janeiro



[ad_1]

The defense document of the outgoing governor of Rio, Wilson Witzel (PSC), delivered to the mixed court has complete extracts copied from the profile of the politician in the virtual encyclopedia Wikipedia. The Court will be responsible for judging the indictment request.

In the 49 pages, the part dedicated to his biography is exactly the same as the site. The texts say, for example:

After finishing elementary and high school, he graduated from a technical surveying survey. At the age of 18 he entered the Naval Officer Training School and, at 20, he was a sailor. He remained in the Navy until 1992, when he reached the rank of second lieutenant. “

Witzel’s defense said that the outgoing governor himself was the one who provided the texts of his profile, which he himself had created on Wikipedia. Therefore, according to him, some parts of the document are the same.

In another section the Law course and the Master are mentioned. Hovering over what the lawyers wrote, you can see that even the links to the keywords are the same, that is, they were probably copied and pasted.

In defense, Witzel says that Mário Peixoto did not own the Social Organization Unir Saúde, contrary to what the investigations of the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) indicate.

According to the lawyers, the true person in charge of the OS is the former mayor of Nova Iguaçu, Nelson Bornier.

In a telephone recording authorized by the Justice, Luiz Roberto Martins, designated as the financial operator of the businessman Mário Peixoto, refers to the requalification of the OS, stating that “Mário says that it was he who got the governor right.”

Mario, according to Witzel’s defense, is Mario Marques, undersecretary of communication for the state government. Mário’s father, also called Mario Marques, was deputy mayor of Bornier in Nova Iguaçu.

The new version presented by Witzel’s defense will be analyzed by the rapporteur for the prosecution process, Deputy Waldeck Carneiro (PT).

The parliamentarian has until the 29th to prepare an opinion on whether the mixed court should proceed with impeachment or not.

Mário Marques affirms that he has no relationship with Nelson Bornier and that his work is strictly technical.

Nelson Bornier stated that he has no relationship with Unir Saúde and that he does not even know where the headquarters are.
