The defense of Fabio Luis Lula da Silva, the president’s son, presented this Wednesday (4) a request to extend the decision to suspend the breach of banking and tax secrecy.
The request argues that the applications in the INSS CPI were all approved together, which would be illegal. Furthermore, he cites what the rapporteur himself stated in the decision in the morning that the breaches of confidentiality were defined wholesale in the parliamentary committee.
“The grounds for the concession are all applicable to Fábio Luís, who also had his confidentiality broken by the ‘global’ vote, without concrete, specific and individualized grounds, which is required in any invasive investigative measure”, says Guilherme Suguimori, Lulinha’s lawyer.
Earlier, Dino suspended the measure that had been approved by the mixed CPI.
The preliminary decision states that the commission approved 87 requests at once, in a “global” vote, without presenting individual reasons for each measure — including breaches of confidentiality, summonses and requests to Coaf (Financial Activities Control Council). According to the minister, “the wholesale removal of constitutional rights is not appropriate.”
Initially, the assessment among lawyers was that the minister’s decision, as he understood that there was illegality in the breach of confidentiality of someone involved due to the way in which the CPI session took place, all requests should have been suspended at the same time.
