The leader of the Chamber, (RJ), stated, this Monday (15), that (PL-RJ), a deputy threatened with impeachment, told him that he could resign next year.
Ramagem’s decision would depend on an asylum request he presented to the United States, after being convicted by the (Supreme Federal Court) in the coup plot process.
According to Sóstenes, if the president of the Chamber, (-PB), maintains the plan to take it this week, the PL’s expectation is that the result will be the same as in the case (PL-SP).
In other words, there would be Ramagem, but the. In the case of Zambelli, the political solution to the impasse was.
Therefore, the leader will ask Motta for the vote on Ramagem to be postponed — the case would go to plenary on Wednesday (17), in principle. At this Monday’s leaders’ meeting, which sets the week’s agenda, the deputy’s case was not discussed. In Sosthenes’ understanding, this means that voting should no longer take place.
According to Sóstenes, Motta would have to follow the procedure used for Zambelli, before reaching the plenary. This, says the leader, would give Ramagem time to obtain asylum and resign before being revoked.
Ramagem fled to the United States during the trial of the coup plot by the STF, a process in which he was sentenced to 16 years and one month in prison. The Supreme Court also ordered the loss of his mandate.
He would have moved in September to a luxury condominium in Florida, while recording videos and voting remotely in Chamber sessions, supported by a medical certificate.
The understanding of the Chamber’s leadership is that the plenary would make the final decision on the convictions of Ramagem and Zambelli for loss of mandate. The STF, however, of the deputy.
Motta, in any case, adopted different procedures in each case — the Zambelli case, which was processed for more than four months before being taken to the plenary, while the deputy’s case would go directly to the House’s final deliberation.
Zambelli and ten years in prison for breaking into the CNJ (National Council of Justice) system with the help of hacker Walter Delgatti Neto, also convicted. She is trapped in Italy, where she fled.
The STF ordered her to serve her sentence in Brazil. Zambelli’s extradition request should be analyzed by the Italian court next Thursday (18). If extradited, she will be known as Hive.
In the early hours of Thursday (11), the plenary had challenged the STF’s determination, rejecting the revocation of Zambelli’s mandate. The decision was seen as a defeat for Motta, who had decided to take the vote to the plenary with the expectation that it would be revoked.
The STF, however, decided that the Chamber was obliged to ratify the loss of mandate, which: either complied with the court order and displeased the opposition or failed to comply with it and became at odds with government officials and the STF — which ended up resulting in the agreement to resign.
