It has cited “concrete risks” of leakage of investigations that are processed in the (Superior Court of Justice) by submitting a request for an inquiry in the Court to be transferred to the (Supreme Court).
In the document, which is under confidential and was obtained by Sheetthe PF pointed to the probability of leaking information from a case that precisely calculates the leakage of police operations in STJ offices. The inquiry does not directly investigate court ministers.
In the request for opening of calculation, sent to the minister, the PF stated that, in view of this risk, “there is no alternative but to provoke the exceptional action of the Federal Supreme Court to assume the supervision of this police inquiry.”
“The investigation will unravel the origin and their responsibility for the ‘leakage’ of information related to confidential investigations supervised by the Superior Court of Justice, especially involving future police offspring,” the delegates said.
Sought, the STJ informed by note that “it does not comment on investigations and cases that are processed in other courts.”
PF’s request based on the latest phase of the, which was initially opened to investigate suspicions of sales of court decisions in STJ offices related to.
This last phase of the operation has not so far evidence of Andreson’s involvement, and deals with information leaks from within STJ offices.
The PF asked Zanin to authorize an operation on leaks on February 25.
Researchers began to distrust these leaks by analyzing mobile phones seized in Operation Maximus about.
In recording a June 2024 call, a nephew of Governor Wanderlei Barbosa (Republicans) talks to a judge about “companions in Brasilia” who would be monitoring STJ information.
He mentions information that would be from the confidential inquiries related to Maximus himself and the other operation, which investigated suspicions of deviations in the distribution of basic baskets during the pandemic period.
Both operations were only triggered in August last year, two months after the call.
By asking for permission for pre -trial detention, searches and seizures and analysis of materials that would be collected to investigate if there were leaks, the Federal Police asked the case to be under the responsibility of Zanin.
Delegates justify that although there are no direct indications that STJ ministers who have a special forum in the Supreme Court have committed irregularities, “the particularities of the case and, even more so, the scope of the investigation claim exceptional performance by the Supreme Court, which will surely ensure the effectiveness of investigative work.”
The PF says that “the content of the messages exchanged among the interlocutors that derive the likelihood that the leaks of information and confidential documents came out of the Superior Court of Justice, including here the offices of ministers of the Superior Court of Justice.”
The police also ask that the minister recognize that the context of the investigation is related to that of Operation Sisamnes.
The PGR (Attorney General of the Republic), when consulted, said it saw in investigations on “strict relationship” leaks with the case of decisions sales in the STJ.
On March 17, Zanin authorized search and seizures about the leaks, and called for the opinion of the PGR about the binding to the operation of sales of judicial decisions in Tocantins with that of the Supreme – which takes the entire operation over the state judiciary to the Supreme Court.
In his decision, the Supreme Minister said that as they are investigated in the STJ “facts related to the possible existence of a structured criminal organization for the sale of court decisions and confidential information in the Superior Court of Justice,” there is a modus operandi very close to that of the actions described in the PF’s request.
“The police authority pointed to evidence of the connection between the subjects of the coercive measure and the investigated facts and, more than that, with the investigative context of two large operations (‘Sisamnes’ and ‘Maximus’) that relate to the broad investigative context in progress in this office and whose actions would have occurred, even in public agencies of the Judiciary and the State Public Prosecutor,” said Zanin.
Currently, AO cabinets are investigated in the inquiries that are being processed in the STF about decision selling: Og Fernandes, Isabel Gallotti, Nancy Andrighi and Paulo Moura Ribeiro.
In the last phase of Sisamnes, an arrest warrant was served against Thiago Barbosa de Carvalho, who is the nephew of the governor, who was not the target of the operation.
Four search and seizure warrants were also served. Among other items, police found copies of inquiries on a computer that was used by Thiago.
In triggering the operation, Zanin stated that the measures determined by him are “an STF response to the severity of cases narrated by the PF, which mention, true or not, STJ ministers.”
Sought, the governor of Tocantins, Wanderlei Barbosa, said that he did not receive privileged information because his lawyers had already access to the operation of the operation of basic baskets since April, before the judge’s conversation with his nephew.
Thiago Barbosa’s defense, also sought after, did not comment.
