The embassy of Brazil confirmed the trip of an American department of the State Department, equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Brasilia this week to discuss topics related to public security and organized crime.
According to the embassy advisory, the delegation will be headed by David Gamble, interim chief of the agency’s sanctions coordinations. “He will participate in a series of bilateral meetings on transnational criminal organizations and discuss US sanction programs aimed at combating terrorism and drug trafficking,” he said in a statement.
The forecast is that he will land in the federal capital this Monday (3). A for the licensed deputy (-SP) on Friday (2). The parliamentarian said that the American will have meetings with the senator (PL-RJ) and the former president himself (PL).
The coming would reinforce, in the evaluation of the licensed deputy, that the US consider sanctioning Minister Alexandre de Moraes, (Supreme Court), as he has been requested. THE Sheet Eduardo said the government members “They want to hear people persecuted by Moraes. “
“Obviously, as he is the state department expert for sanction purposes, he will deal with it. And he opened the doors for me to suggest meetings with authorities. And so I did,” he said.
The Brazilian embassy note, however, does not deal with this possibility. How it showed the Sheeta Lula assistant said the Brazilian government was aware of the forecast of the visit of an American entourage with the objective of having technical level meetings on public safety with members of the Esplanade.
There was no communication to the government, however, about the prospect of visiting Lula’s opponents.
Still, until this Sunday (4), according to people close to Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), there was the prospect of meeting. According to Eduardo Bolsonaro, public safety will also be the subject of conversations with his brother.
He stated that at meetings with Trump government members last week, he suggested, at the request of Flavio, that the US declares the Red Command as terrorist organizations, as the US president did with Aragua’s Tren, Venezuelan faction. This would even allow Brazilian immigrants arrested in the country linked to these organizations to be sent to prison.
Eduardo, in March, since then, he lives in Texas and has maintained the articulation to try sanctions to Moraes, such as the impediment that the magistrate between in the US.
The pockets have been supported by Steve Bannon, who was Trump’s boss strategist-today he is away from the US President, but who keeps contacts in government-and Jason Miller, a former Senior Countere of the Republican.
Bolsonaro’s allies see two ways to punish the STF magistrate. One is the cancellation of the Moraes visa by the State Department, which has already sanctioned some foreign authorities
The other is to get a more extreme sanction and focused only on Moraes by the White House. There would be a draft of decree imposing on STF Minister punishments such as those applied to the Attorney of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, in retaliation for the arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
Khan cannot enter the US and received a sanction from OFAC, a foreign asset control office, which belongs to the Treasury Department. With this, he had any goods in the US blocked and was prevented from making transactions with US institutions. Trump’s decree determining the sanction was issued in February.
