Deltan impeached: Former prosecutor says he will appeal TSE decision this Tuesday


The deputy says in an interview with Roda Viva that he will present an appeal both in the Court and in the Chamber

the federal deputy Deltan Dallagnol (Podemos-PR) said it will file an appeal this Tuesday 30 al Superior Electoral Court (TSE), to challenge his impeachment. During an interview with the Roda Viva program, on the night of this Monday 29, he confirmed that he will present declaration embargoes to the Court, at the same time that he will present an appeal to the Board of Directors of the House of Representatives.

The interview was seen live by more than 15,000 people on social networks and ended up among the most commented topics on Twitter. The deputy was questioned by reporters about the impeachment process, support a Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in the second round of 2022 and the ethical conflicts on acting in view of Operation Lava Jato.

The type of appeal that is expected to be filed this Tuesday falls short of the merits of the TSE decision. Embargoes are addressed to the author of the decision – in this case, the plenary of the Court – and are intended to correct obscurities, contradictions or clerical errors. For some resource types when Federal Court of Justiceembargoes are a procedural prerequisite.

The bureaucratic procedures that materialize the decision of the TSE run in the Board of Directors of the Chamber. The Interior of the Chamber notified Dallagnol with a public notice on the 23rd, when his five-day deadline for the defense began to run. Until this procedure is completed, the former Lava Jato prosecutor remains in prison.

Confirmation of the appeal was given in an interview with the TV program Cultura. In between, the program repeated excerpts from interviewees about Operation Lava Jato, such as the Minister of the Supreme Gilmar Mendeswho said that “Curitiba has the germ of fascism”.

Find out some of the topics of the interview:

judiciary in sight

Dallagnol spared no criticism of the Judicial power. He attributed the TSE’s decision to revoke his mandate to ministers’ personal and political interests. “It was not me who assessed that the decision was agreed, it was the minister Marco Aurélio”. The former prosecutor also said the ballot vote was the result of “artificial unanimity.”

The deputy said ministers would be interested in a possible appointment to the Supreme Court and that the decision in his case was biased. Dallagnol supported this thesis in the public demonstrations in which he appeared, which earned him compensation from the Association of Federal Judges of Brazil (Ajufe).

Lula’s criticisms

The current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was one of the most mentioned subjects in the interview. Dallagnol was questioned about the PowerPoint episode, when he presented an organizational chart and said he “had no evidence, but I was convinced” of the PT’s guilt in the corruption cases in the Petrobras. “There was a case of plenty of evidence. Now, what exists in my case is speculation,” said the deputy, recalling one by one Lula’s convictions in court.

“My case retains no match with Lava Jato. Perhaps it retains a reverse match,” said the former prosecutor.

Faced with the messages exchanged in the group of prosecutors to which he belonged, when he called Lula “nine” (as a reference to the fact that he had lost a finger in an accident at work), Dallagnol reiterated the team’s exemption. “Absolute exemption,” said the former prosecutor.

Jair Bolsonaro

When asked about Jair Bolsonaro (PL), which he supported in the ballot of the last elections, Dallagnol avoided criticizing. He was asked about the times Bolsonaro praised torturers, attacked journalists and about the investigations that are taking place against him for alleged corruption incidents, such as the jewel case in Saudi Arabia, revealed by the Stadium.

“I don’t have idolatry with people, I have idolatry with causes. The Bolsonaro government has had its mistakes, it has. But I see a series of very positive policies,” he said, praising the former president’s handling of law reform. pensions and the “management of poverty during the pandemic”. He declined to comment on the jewelry case, which he was asked about directly. “I don’t know these cases in detail.”

As for the presence of Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) In the first press conference held after his impeachment, Dallagnol denied having the backing of the former president’s family. “He was by my side for a cause.”

Defense of Lava Jato

Lava Jato’s defense was one of the flags raised in the deputy’s responses. He cited several instances in which he allegedly failed to convict corruption suspects in his professional career. “At Lava Jato, for the first time, we have achieved results that we have never achieved before,” said Dallagnol.

The former prosecutor defended the coercive conduct implemented as part of the operation. “Until late 2017, it wasn’t Lava Jato, it was all the operations they did. It was based on the law. The Supreme Court changed the rules of the game,” Dallagnol said. A few moments later, he questioned one of the reporters: “Increase the sentence for corruption by two years. What’s authoritarian about that?”

The impeached MP said he did not regret leaving his career in the Federal prosecutor (MPF). He said he felt “short” and was inspired by the parable of talent to enter politics.

PL of Fake News

A statement by Dallagnol that the PL of Fake News the censorship of passages from the Bible would also enter the debate. “It’s not fake news,” he said, reiterating his claim. “When the project arrived in the House, the government entered, the Orlando Silva, from the PCdoB, and there it starts to develop two problems. First, he creates a series of loopholes about what can and cannot be said and creates a committee, a government agency that oversees what is said.”

He said the version of the PL that was in progress when he made the statements did not differ from statements made in a religious context, which could limit people’s freedom to profess their faith.

As shown the Estadão verifies, the bill does not provide for the censorship of religious content. However, the proposal did make a nod to the religious caucus in Congress by including the ability to compensate pastors for copyrighted content.
