The defense of the former president (PL) presented a statement to the Federal Supreme Court () in which he denies breach of precautionary measures and classifies the (PF) report that based his indictment as a “political piece”. For lawyers, the document goes beyond the technical function of the investigation and aims to demoralize the former Mandanker, whom they describe as “a political leader.”

The PF report, delivered last week, pointed out that Bolsonaro violated restrictions imposed by the minister, such as the ban on social networks, as well as being considered to flee the country when asking asylum from the Argentine president. In the same document, the PF also indicted Bolsonaro and Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) for coercion in the course of the process and attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law.

The defense countered the two central points. About the asylum request, the lawyers stated that the document found was just a draft, old, without signing and without legal value. According to the demonstration, it was a “suggestion” sent by third parties, which never materialized in a concrete act. “With or without the draft, the former president did not escape. On the contrary, he obeyed all decisions emanating from the STF,” wrote lawyer Celso Vilardi.

As for the messages sent by, the defense maintains that the application cannot be considered a social network and that the measures imposed by Moraes have never restricted the exchange of private messages. “The attempt to incriminate the sending of private messages to your contact list is to give an elastic interpretation to the precautionary, which should always have restricted and accurate reading,” says the lawyers.

In a critical tone, the defense accuses the PF to practice lawfare – Term used to describe the use of judicial apparatus as a political weapon, a concept often associated with criticism of the president’s defense during. For Bolsonaro, according to the document, the police report improperly exposed his private life, legal financial movements and conversations without relevance.

“It sounds amazing, but much of the report is devoted to a told me-said without any relevance to the investigation,” Vilardi said. The lawyers also pointed out that messages cited by the PF, including Eduardo Bolsonaro and allies, do not constitute non -compliance with court orders.

Now, it will be up to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), commanded by Paulo Gonet, to evaluate the arguments and speak before a new position of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The opinion is expected to be presented in the coming days, while Bolsonaro has been in preventive house arrest since early August.
