He figured as a witness in the session of the board who heard five other people of different nationalities about what would be transnational violations committed by agents from their countries.
“The US has powerful tools, such as the Magnistky Law. I have been I to recommend sanctions to Moraes in the next 30 days,” said the former combatant.
The testimony was provided before the committee’s co-president, Democrat James P. McGovern, in a dismantled session of congressmen. At certain times, the American deputy disagreed with the communicator about an alleged censorship and persecution of Opponents of Moraes.

Moraes cited the existence of the arrest warrant during a session at the Supreme Court and said the former combatant is on the run.
James McGovern disagreed with Figueiredo when the communicator approached the fake news inquiry and when he discussed the persecution of journalists and politicians in Brazil and the US.
