The CCJ (Constitution and Justice Commission) report indicates that the federal deputy’s appeal (-RJ) may suspend all criminal prosecution of scammer acts, directly benefiting the former president (PL).
Ramagem became a defendant by decision of the Supreme Court (STF), as well as Bolsonaro, in the action that.
The PL filed an appeal in the House against the Supreme Court, and the rapporteur of the case at the CCJ, the Bolsonist Deputy Alfredo Gaspar (União Brasil-AL), agreed with the request and proposed the criminal action is suspended “in its entirety”.
The CCJ session on Wednesday (30) debated the opinion, but ended after a request for views (more time to analyze the case), and the vote was postponed.
The left disputes and states that the house has the competence to lock only the points that deal with deputies with mandate. That is, it could suspend only the accusations against branch, not against others that appear in the same action.
Understanding the Supreme Court determines that the evaluation is restricted to the acts committed by the parliamentarian, after his diploma, but the CCJ presidency indicated on Wednesday that he agrees with the possibility of locking the whole action – Bolsonarists also advocate this thesis.
The rapporteur of the case said that holding an action has one of his prerogatives to avoid “persecution.”
If this understanding prevails, he may try to suspend the judgment of the case of defendants, as well as Bolsonaro and branch: Walter Braga Netto, general, former minister and deputy of Bolsonaro in 2022; General Augusto Heleno, former Minister of the Institutional Security Office; Anderson Torres, former Minister of Justice; Almir Garnier, former Navy Commander; Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, General and former Minister of Defense; and Mauro Cid, a former president of the presidency orders.
How it showed the Sheet.
The appeal is a response to Supreme Minister Cristiano Zanin, who last Thursday (24), (-PB), stating that the house has only competence to review part of the action against branch-and restricted only to the alleged.
The Constitution provides that, in the event of criminal lawsuits against acting parliamentarians, the Supreme Court must be aware of the house to which it belongs, which may suspend the action while the mandate is in force.
For this, the case needs to be first evaluated at the CCJ and then, if it advances, approved by the majority of the plenary (257 votes, in the case of deputies).
The PL filed a appeal in which it calls for “the sustainment of the criminal action […] Against Deputy Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ), former President Jair Bolsonaro and former members of his government. “
The report of Deputy Alfredo Gaspar proposes a resolution project in the same line. If approved, the text determines that “the progress of the criminal action is sustained […] in relation to all crimes “.
Ramage is accused of committing five crimes: coup d’état, criminal organization, violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, qualified damage against the union’s heritage and deterioration of listed assets. He denies it.
According to Zanin, however, only accusations of acts committed after his diploma as a deputy are likely to be suspended by the House Plenary – in this case, the last two.
Deputy Rubens Pereira Jr (PT-MA) argued that the branch appeal must encompass all the crimes he is accused, but called the “Amnesty Train” report by suspending all criminal action-repetitioning the words used by colleague Chico Alencar (PSOL-RJ).
He stated that when former President Michel Temer (MDB) became a defendant, the House analyzed only the part of the process that concerned him, without interfering with the process against others involved.
Rubens also claimed to be against suspending the action, even if only when it plays branch, but added that expanding its scope is “an abundant unconstitutionality.”
After being challenged by a series of leftist deputies, CCJ President Paulo Azi (União Brasil-BA) said it is not for him to “make any value judgment on the scope of the opinion.”
But it reiterated, for more than once, that the CCJ’s understanding is that the House may decide to suspend a criminal action.
He stressed, however, that the board may make changes to the report presented.
In his opinion, the rapporteur states that it is “impossible not to verify the fragility of the evidence” presented against branch and that it is up to the Supreme Court to initiate a criminal action, it is up to the legislature to “evaluate the political relevance of sustaining the progress of that same criminal action.”
He further states that the possibility of holding action is a response to cases in which the judiciary tries to embarrass or threaten parliamentarians.
In defending his report, Gaspar also spoke of reacting political persecution. He argued that the terms used in the Constitution has been held, but considered that at no time in the text, he cites others involved in the possible coup plot.
“Who brought other characters to this moment was not the rapporteur,” he said.
