The minister of the (Federal Supreme Court), determined on Tuesday (23) the notification of the federal deputy (PL-SP) and the journalist about the complaint offered by (Attorney General’s Office).
The Order of Moraes requires bailiffs to seek Eduardo and Paulo in the two in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia, for the physical delivery of the subpoena.
The duo, however, is us. They decided to constitute lawyers only after the formal notification of the process by the means of cooperation between the two countries. The subpoena would open 15 days to present the prior defense of the accused.
“We will very patiently await the communication of the case through the competent legal ways between Brazil and the United States to formally manifest ourselves,” the two said in a joint statement released on Monday (22).
The traditional way for Brazilian justice to summon defendants in the United States is through the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (Mlat). For this mechanism, Brazil requests international cooperation for various purposes as a request for defendants data.
The request for cooperation is usually slower. In the crisis between the Supreme and digital platforms, most ministers have even decided that Mlat is a Brazilian to get information from foreign internet providers, used in situations that the fastest paths are not enough.
The lack of notification by traditional means with US residents against Paulo Figueiredo for the coup plot. The journalist was reported by PGR in March, but without the physical delivery of the accusation, the process did not advance.
Moraes even determined Paul’s notification by public notice – procedure adopted when the court runs out all the possibilities of locating the accused. The minister also decided that the DPU (Public Defender’s Office) represented the accused in the process.
Public defender Gustavo Zortéa informed the Supreme that he could not make contact with Paulo Figueiredo and if a prior defense of the accused. “In practice, the Federal Defender’s Office is attributed to the elaboration of merely formal defense, which does not arise from contact with the accused and, therefore, is not true defense,” he said.
Eduardo Bolsonaro and Paulo Figueiredo were reported on Monday by the Supreme Court on charges of articulating actions in order to intervene in the former president’s (PL) processes.
Attorney General Paulo Gonet accuses the two of a coercion crime, which “consists of using violence or serious threat, in order to favor self-orient interest, against authority, part, or anyone who works or is called to intervene in judicial, police or administrative proceedings, or in arbitral court.”
The PGR points out that the pair have been performing in the United States in search of sanctions from the Donald Trump government against Brazilian authorities as a retaliation for the advancement of the lawsuit against Bolsonaro by the coup plot.
The former Brazilian president was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison for leading the coup plot at the end of 2022.
