The minister and president of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), Edson Fachin, chose minister André Mendonça as rapporteur for the “Dark Horse” case. “I order the redistribution of these files, as a preventive measure, to Minister André Mendonça”, he wrote.
“In effect, the episodes referred to in this ‘crime report’ coincide with the object of other investigations under the report of Minister André Mendonça”, determined Fachin.
Last Friday (19), the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) positioned itself in favor of redistributing the criminal news of the “Dark Horse” case to minister André Mendonça. The organization argued to Moraes that Corte’s colleague is already responsible for ongoing process at the STF regarding Banco Master within the scope of Operation Compliance Zero.
The minister Alexandre de Moraesright away, requested on Monday (22) which Edson Fachin, decide on the report of the case that investigates a “possible connection” between the financing of the film “Dark Horse”os negotiated values between the senator Flavio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) e o dono do Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaroand so on “international activity” of former federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro “in the sanctions campaign against Brazilian authorities”
On Wednesday (24), the president of the STF requested an analysis from the technical area to decide whether the investigation involving the money sent by senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) for the film should be judged by André Mendonça or Alexandre de Moraes.
In the published order, Fachin asked the Initial Processing Coordination of the Judiciary Secretariat to provide clarification on the process distribution criteria.
Fachin’s decision is in response to federal deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) who had requested the expansion of the scope of the investigation that targeted former deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) – of which Moraes is rapporteur – to encompass Flávio’s conduct. for alleged coercion during the process and obstruction of justice in the trial of the coup plot whose leader was his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
Furthermore, the deputy also requested this Thursday that Moraes or STF minister Flávio Dino, who is already rapporteur on the case of parliamentary amendments, be the rapporteur on the case, warning that they may have been intended for the production of the film about the biography of Jair Bolsonaro.
Furthermore, the simple identification, through textual research, of processes that contain the expression Dark Horse is not enough to characterize prevention. It is necessary to examine the concrete object of each event, the identity or relationship between the facts, the evidentiary dependence, those investigated, the original process that would have justified the prevention and the possible coincidence between the evidence necessary for the investigation.
