Defense of Filipe Martins asks for more deadline and disputes evidence

The defense of Filipe Martins, former advisor of the former president (PL), contested the evidence presented by the MP (Public Prosecution Service) and requested at least 15 days to send the final allegations to the Supreme Court (STF) in a petition filed at dawn on Wednesday (8.out.2025).

The deadline for the delivery of memorials of core 2 of 15 days and ended at 11:59 pm on Thursday (7.out), as established by Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The final allegations are the last stage before the trial, where prosecution and defense present in writing their arguments based on the evidence gathered during the instruction. In the memorials, the parties summarize the main points of the process and reinforce the claims of conviction or acquittal of the defendants.

“By caution, the defense points out that this incidental petition does not replace the final allegations and that it will submit its final allegations within the time limit being fixed by this rapporteur,” They wrote the lawyers. Martins’s team asked the rapporteur to suspend or interrupt the established deadline and resume counting after analysis of the filed petition. The defense suggested a period of 15 days to prepare its final allegations.

According to Martins’s lawyers, the PGR (Attorney General’s Office) presented unprecedented evidence in its final allegations submitted on September 22. Prosecutor Paulo Gonet the condemnation of all members of core 2. Read to of the document (PDF – 42 MB).

The unpublished evidence cited by Martins’s defense are:

The lawyers argue that the evidence is invalid because they were produced after the completion of the instructional phase and were not subjected to technical evidence.

Marcelo Costa’s defense also did not deliver his memorials on time. However, the absence of manifestation of the defenses does not prevent the process from continuing. On the contrary: it will move on and the defenses have lost the right to present last arguments. Thus, the rapporteur can refer the process for judgment based on the previous manifestations in the case file. This includes accusations and evidence.
