Ministers reacted this Tuesday (14) to the final report of the Organized Crime CPI and raised the tone of criticism of the commission after the announcement of requests for indictments against members of the Court.
The demonstrations took place after the senator Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE) in addition to the Attorney General of the Republic, Paulo Gonet, for crimes of responsibility.
When opening the session of the Second Panel, Gilmar stated that the CPI has no legal basis to request the indictment of STF magistrates and classified the initiative as an initiative. The minister also criticized the conduct of the commission’s work, citing “selective leaks” and the construction of “rushed narratives” on facts still under investigation.
In the same vein, Toffoli stated that the report is “completely unfounded”, without legal support, and pointed out possible abuse of power with electoral impact.
For the minister, this type of conduct by public agents who use attacks on institutions for electoral purposes.
“We cannot avoid electorally disenfranchising those who abused, attacking institutions, to obtain votes and spoil the voter’s vote. Because that is what it is about, when an adventurous report like this appears. It is an attempt to obtain votes”said Toffoli.
Criticism was also accompanied by Flavio Dinowho expressed solidarity with his colleagues and stated that there is an attempt to transform the STF into the “biggest national problem”which he classified as a “gigantic historical error”.
The President of the Court, Minister Edson Fachin, has not yet commented on the indictment requests. The silence occurs amid internal criticism of his conduct, with demands for a more emphatic defense of colleagues in the face of the crisis associated with the case Banco Master.
CPI do Crime
Vieira’s final report was presented this Tuesday morning. According to the senator, requests for indictment are based on conduct considered incompatible with the exercise of functions, such as suspicion in trials, possible conflicts of interest and decisions that would have impacted investigations.
In the case of the attorney general, the text points to an omission in the face of evidence considered relevant.
Among the points covered, the document mentions the Banco Master case, with reference to signs of financial irregularities and a possible relationship with money laundering schemes. The topic, according to the rapporteur, should be deepened in specific research.
