The testimonies of women from the (Superior Court of Justice) reached the (Supreme Federal Court), which will now decide whether or not to open criminal investigations against the magistrate.
As the proceedings have not yet been opened at the Supreme Court, the expectation is that a possible complaint from the (Attorney General’s Office) will only wait after the conclusion of the inquiry at the STJ, which meets to discuss the issue.
The assessment of those around Buzzi is that the lack of a criminal investigation formally opened at the STF could be an argument in favor of the magistrate at the administrative level. However, , the STJ tends to .
Following a request from the PGR, the minister, rapporteur of criminal proceedings in the Supreme Court, determined that the (National Council of Justice) and the STJ shared the full material with the court.

In a note sent to Sheetthe defense of the STJ minister says that he “trusts that the evidence of the non-existence of the facts already documented will lead to the archiving of the preliminary investigation” in the Supreme Court.
In relation to the investigation, the STJ set a deadline of March 27th for the defense to produce evidence in favor of the minister, such as obtaining images from security cameras and producing expert reports.
Buzzi’s defense states that the minister “did not commit any improper act, as will be possible to demonstrate in due course within the scope of the procedures already instituted” and that “counter-evidence is already being collected that will ultimately allow for a calm and rational analysis of the facts.”
