‘If today we are in a democratic environment, we owe a lot to Minister Alexandre,’ said the cut -off colleague during an event in Brasilia
The Minister of (Supreme Federal Court) expressed public support to colleague Alexandre de Moraes on Wednesday (27), amid the sanctions imposed by the United States based on. During the Lide Business Forum, in Brasilia, Gilmar said that history will do justice to Moraes and classified as “improper” attempts at US pressure on Brazilian justice. “If today we are in a democratic environment, we owe a lot to Minister Alexandre. I support unquestionably, and I know that the story will do him justice,” said Gilmar.
In July, the US government announced 50% over Brazilian products as a reaction to the former president’s judgment (PL), defendant in the STF for attempted coup. In addition, he applied sanctions to Moraes, which has been prohibited in the country and restrictions to maintain financial activities linked to US institutions.
For Gilmar, involving the judiciary in commercial disputes compromises national sovereignty. “Commercial negotiations can be done at all times. But trying to include the country’s institutional role and the independence of the judiciary makes no sense at all,” he said, comparing the measure to a hypothetical Brazilian demand for the United States to reveal the names of the call Epstein Files. In the US, Donald Trump opponents speculate their name on the customer list of.
Epstein was an American financier accused of leading an international sexual exploitation network of minors, involving entrepreneurs, politicians and celebrities. Arrested in 2019, he died in a cell in New York under circumstances officially classified as suicide. The case became known as Epstein Filesset of judicial documents that allegedly reveal names and connections of figures linked to the scheme.
The minister also commented on the resumption of projects in Congress that aims at the Supreme Court, as proposals to limit the privileged forum and submit the opening of actions against parliamentarians to the authorization of the Legislature. According to him, it is necessary to caution: “Brazil has already had unfortunate episodes of use and abuse of the privileged forum in all instances. Judgment is required by proposing changes.”
The trial of Bolsonaro and other defendants linked to January 8 is scheduled for September 2, in the first class of the STF. Gilmar will not participate in the case analysis, but stressed that external pressure measures against the Court are not acceptable.
