The publicist, a marketer of what was at the head of the (PL) presidential campaign in 2022, produced in July a video at the pastor’s request with the message that the former president and his supporters are targets of unfair persecution and that the tariffs imposed on Brazil by the US President will only fall if there is benesty to the pockets.
For AEA (Attorney General of the Republic), Malafaia went to authorities promoted by Jair and the deputy (PL-SP) to press ministers of the (Federal Supreme Court) and parliamentarians to approve measures of interest to the Bolsonarist group, such as the former president’s amnesty.
Duda Lima is not investigated by the PF in the case.
The request to the marketer was mentioned by Malafaia in conversations with Bolsonaro that there are an investigation by the Federal Police presented in August, which points to evidence that Bolsonaro and his son tried to obstruct the trial of.
Bolsonaro was 27 years and 3 months in prison for attempted coup of the STF’s first class. It is the first time in history that a former president is punished for this crime. The defense says it will appeal.
O by alleged participation in coercion crimes in the course of the process, obstruction of investigation involving criminal organization and violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law.
Malafaia tells the Sheet that Duda is his friend, who paid nothing to make him the video and that there is no crime in relate to the end of Trump’s tariff to Bolsonaro’s amnesty.
“It means that the left can make the advertising piece she wants to break up who they want and we can’t do to defend ourselves? A voluntary thing, that I didn’t pay for anything,” says the pastor, adding that it is the target of political persecution and that the PF is at the service of the Minister, of the STF.
“What’s new there is, we advertise to call amnesty, saying that Donald Trump’s tariff has to do with the persecution of Bolsonaro? And if you have an amnesty, it is over. Who doesn’t know that?” Asks Malafaia.
“They want to shut up opponents. They can’t stand the opposition, people who think and ask. This is a shame. This is an unscrupulous and cretin naughtiness.”
In a statement, Duda states that he works against the current federal government, represented by (PT), but in no play that has professionally produced there are attacks that can hurt legal rule and freedom of expression.
The PF report shows that on July 13 Malafaia told Bolsonaro in a message that he had told Duda Lima “inventing a sentence that puts more or less around it: Amnesty and the taxation falls.”
According to him, the strategy was intended to “take off the speech, we left the ropes and go to the attack.”
Trump had announced four days earlier, which caused Bolsonaro to receive criticism due to the articulation led by his son Eduardo to be sanctioned.
“You have to join the fee with the issue of amnesty. Or gather freedom, justice and amnesty and the fall of the fee. It’s Trump’s letter, they won’t have to say it’s fake. I told that to marketer Duda,” Malafaia wrote to the former president.
“Marketer Duda gave the following suggestion, he will produce video and banner. He will be ready Monday to make an orchestrated campaign. Amnesty for all! Brazil of freedom will not be taxed. Donald Trump,” added the pastor.
The expression “orchestrated campaign” was underlined by the PF in his report.
For investigators, the messages show that the true intention of acts performed by Malafaia and Jair Bolsonaro was to “coerce Brazilian authorities (STF ministers and parliamentarians) to obtain amnesty and impunity in ongoing criminal actions, and such measures are the only way to reverse the sanctions imposed by the United States.”
A week after the exchange of messages with Bolsonaro, Malafaia published the video produced by Duda on X (former Twitter).
The material contains several elements cited by the pastor, such as Trump’s letter and the staff “Brazil of Justice and Freedom will not be taxed”.
The video states that Trump is saying what many in Brazil are afraid to express: “Arriving patriots is unfair, shut up is censorship and pursuing Bolsonaro is an international shame.” He also argues that the US President wants to be a partner of a Brazil with “true democracy” and that he will only tax the country if there is an insistence on “relative democracy”.
“To solve the problem is easier than it seems: Amnesty for the innocent,” says the video.
In a statement, Duda Lima states that he has a position contrary to Lula “when he says that ‘democracy is relative'” and also in the face of the “provocative criticism given by the petista” against Trump.
He also says he has “strong opinion against Lula” when he has “irresponsible attitude with the Brazilian nation, provoking the president of the most powerful nation in the world.”
In addition to promoting campaigns of PL and Allied candidates, Lima is also responsible for the party’s communication. He is close to, president of the subtitle.
