The (National Council of Justice) initiated disciplinary proceedings to investigate suspicions that judge Carlos Henrique Abrão, of the (Court of Justice of ), offended and intimidated people with whom he had a business relationship.
The rapporteur, Jaceguara Dantas da Silva, judge of the TJ of Mato Grosso do Sul, saw “sufficient evidence of disciplinary infractions in the defense of private interests”.
Jaceguara was a public prosecutor in Mato Grosso do Sul.
At the request of the Federal, she requested Abrão’s functional record at the TJ-SP, with information on any civil, criminal or disciplinary proceedings, archived or ongoing, in which the magistrate appears as the defendant.
Abram states that the “procedure [está] under secrecy.” He says there is “another conspiracy to put us out of our careers.”
“The investigation had long been archived and reopened, without new evidence. It was supposed to last 60 days and lasted more than a year and a half.”
“We can see that the STF is going to annul everything”, says the judge.
Pressure and intimidation
Abram is the target of a process marked by.
In a unanimous decision, last March the CNJ removed Abrão from his duties for 180 days. He was accused of altering official trial records (minutes) after the announcement of the result and closure of the session, in 2020, when he presided over the 14th Chamber of Private Law.
The case originated from documented information that the then president of the Private Law Section, judge Dimas Rubens Fonseca, received from judges Régis Rodrigues Bonvicino and Ligia Bisogni.
Bonvicino, who died in July 2025, refused to sign the ruling amended by Abrão. He reported having been the target of pressure from Abrão.
The CNJ annulled the filing of two cases. The TJ-SP had considered the censorship penalty appropriate. When judging disciplinary review, the case’s rapporteur, Daiane Nogueira de Lira, understood that the penalty applied contradicted the evidence in the case file and the seriousness of the facts.
Abrão offered an appeal (declaratory embargoes).
Suspicion rejected
In May 2022, by 12 votes to 1, administrative disciplinary proceedings were initiated by the TJ-SP against Abrão.
The magistrate raised suspicions on the then advisor-rapporteur, judge Mauro Pereira Martins. The argument was rejected.
Abrão said that, twice, Martins denied a hearing, “which is unusual when there is a new fact.”
The rapporteur questioned Abrão’s procedural good faith in the records. “The applicant has adopted behavior prohibited by the CPC [Código de Processo Civil]”, he registered.
“Under the pretext of ‘addressing flaws and mistakes in the orders issued’, [Abrão] seeks for this rapporteur to comment on issues already duly addressed, with the aim of preventing the procedures from taking their regular course.”
That year, members of the 14th Chamber of Private Law, which Abrão presided over, stated that the magistrate “at no time exceeded his duties”, certain that “an isolated event is just a mere lack of intelligence”.
Rectification denied
In April, Abrão revealed to the blog of journalist Fausto Macedo, from the newspaper, that he appealed to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to try to reverse the removal.
According to the publication, the judge stated that “they planted an accusation of falsehood” against him with the intention of demoralizing and insulting him, “all manufactured with a harmful spirit in collusion with the brown media”.
The facts were revealed by this column in August 2021. That year, the Sheet responded to an extrajudicial notification, sent by Abrão, and denied the request for rectification.
Lawyer Taís Borja Gasparian stated that the contested article “was published in exercise of the constitutionally guaranteed right and duty to inform.”
“All information disclosed was checked with official and reliable sources, as it is public data”, he stated.
