33, was the younger lawyer among all the defenses of the central core of. Now, deal with a message box full of potential customers, who send messages with the most diverse cases asking for advice.
“There are some people who contact me on the office Instagram: ‘Is it possible to acquit Maria da Penha’s light crime?'” Milanez said. Prospecting the client, he asked, “What is a light crime from Maria da Penha?”
Milanez also says receiving messages about complex cases. A northern farmer accused of torturing and killing people who invaded his land; Another suspect of hiding corpses. All reporting their cases through Instagram.
“My secretary, poor thing, she forwards, we do analysis, mark a meeting […]. We don’t have much filter for which case you get. We do an analysis of the case and see viability. “
Milanez’s social networks burst after the minister in defense of the former chief of the (institutional security office) during the trial of the coup attempt.
He saw his profile on the jump platform from about 2,000 followers at the beginning of the process to more than 60,000 after the trial is completed. The jump occurred in two steps.
The first was more shy. Milanez won 5,000 followers after his request to Moraes to end the defendants’ interrogation session for him to viralize. The audience had started at 9am and was over 8 pm when he approached the theme.
“It’s 20h, the audience tomorrow is at 9am, and we came in one car. I still need to take the general home, and I myself need to go to mine. I minimally I want to dinner. Excellence, I just had breakfast today, almost nothing more,” Milanez said.
Moraes denied the request and said it would be better to finish the hearings as soon as possible. “You still have Wednesday to have a beautiful brunch, Thursday is Valentine’s Day dinner and Friday is St. Anthony’s day-who knows the Lord also celebrates in a bassone?” Moraes mocked.
Milanez says she was scolding her fiancee, nutritionist Gabriella Cesar, for not taking the moment of fame to boost her networks. “I was never very good on a social network. Social network for me was meme and sticker.”
The other opportunity was after Milanez’s oral support in the trial of the criminal action. In defending Heleno, the lawyer questioned Alexandre de Moraes’s stance in the process and made the main criticism of the minister.
The clippings of his speech viralized. Milanez saw the movement and started posting videos talking about the details of the judgment every day. The profile jumped from 7,200 followers to 61,300 in four days.
“I think I speak with a simpler language. The vast majority of my audience is not right. I see that they are people in general, so lato sensu population who want to understand a little more [sobre o processo] Or they liked my posture at the trial, “he said.
The popularity brought new followers and potential customers on Instagram, but also attracted haters and critics. He saw in many memes on the internet an attempt to demoralize him.
“There are two ways to deal with the situation: either you get annoyed, or you surf the joke. I decided to joke quietly. I say today I love it, because everywhere I’m going to say, I will teach, people comment, ‘Oh, rest assured that anything I bring a snack to the Lord.’
Milanez also told why he expected Moraes to agree with the request to anticipate the end of the defendants’ interrogation to “minimally dinner”.
“I was an intern at the time of [operação] Greenfield, o Vallisney [de Souza Oliveira] He was the head judge of the 10th Federal Court of Brasilia. It was an audience all day: it started at 8am, stopping for lunch at noon and went to about 20h, “he says.
“The judge himself said, ‘How is late at night, tomorrow can we start in the afternoon?’ Sometimes the lawyer spoke to finish early. So, [os juízes] They give this malleability, there is no reason for haste. “
Augusto Heleno was sentenced by the Supreme to 21 years in prison for participation in the coup plot. Milanez says she was frustrated with the result – she had at least two votes in favor of the general’s acquittal.
The lawyer says he will present two different types of appeals to and says he believes in the possibility of reversing the conviction. The mission is painful and a little chance of success. He says that only after possible negatives will he raise discussions about where Heleno should serve his sentence: whether in a common prison or at his home.
“I don’t think he is able to go to a prison,” he said. “I know 100% health he’s not because he’s a 77 -year -old man. But I don’t know what diseases he has, if he has a chronic problem. As we were in the eminently legal discussion, that was a point that the family never opened for me.”
