Allies of the former president () who work for sanctions to the minister, (Supreme Federal Court), say they see advances
The licensed deputy (PL-SP), the former president’s son, has been in Washington this week-he has been living in the US since March. He told Sheet who met with people in the state department and also from the White House, without detailing the names.
Eduardo said he was warned on Friday (2) that the state department’s sanctions coordinator, David Gamble, goes to Brasilia next week and will have a meeting with Bolsonaro himself and Senator (PL-RJ), his brother.
According to him, the entourage that will travel to the capital on Monday (5) will also deal with issues related to public safety, such as organized crime.
The licensed parliamentarian also made a post on social networks informing about the trip of the government official.
Until Friday night (2), the State Department had not responded to the request of the report confirming the gamble trip.
According to two people involved in the negotiations, linked to Bolsonaro, Donald Trump government officials have signs that they agree to the application of sanctions.
They do not say the names of the people with whom they talk, but claim that the negotiations have been given in second and sometimes first echelon of the Trump administration.
HAS SheetLast week, a state department spokesman stated that “as a general rule”, the agency does not anticipate sanction actions.
One of the government officials with whom Eduardo gathered is the ambassador Michal Kožák of the Western Hemisphere of the State Department.
The articulation is to get the green light of organs in both the White House and the Security Council and the State Department. For a sanction for the White House, it takes Trump’s endorsement, which needs to sign a decree imposing sanctions on Moraes.
The pockets have been supported by Steve Bannon, who was Trump’s boss strategist-today he is away from the US President, but who keeps contacts in government-and Jason Miller, a former Senior Countere of the Republican.
Next week, Eduardo and should return to new meetings in Washington. Will be the third deputy of the deputy to the American capital since he, in March,
Figueiredo, who went with Bolsonaro by the PGR (Attorney General’s Office) on charges of participating in a 2022 coup plot, has also been in Washington on other occasions.
The pockets see two ways to punish the STF magistrate. One is the cancellation of the Moraes visa by the State Department, which has already sanctioned some foreign authorities
The other is to get a more extreme sanction and focused only on Moraes by the White House. There would be a draft of decree imposing on STF Minister punishments such as those applied to the Attorney of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, in retaliation for the arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
Khan cannot enter the US and received a sanction from OFAC, a foreign asset control office, which belongs to the Treasury Department. With this, he had any goods in the US blocked and was prevented from making transactions with US institutions. Trump’s decree determining the sanction was issued in February.
The justification for the sanction of Moraes would be the magnitsky law, which provides for the application of sanction to persons accused of violation of human rights and corruption. The allegation of Bolsonarists is that the STF minister has violated human rights by acting against freedom of expression of people in the United States by asking for profiles and information to Big Techs.
