“Tagliaferro, free, consciously and voluntarily, between 15.05.2023 and 15.08.2024, violated functional secrecy by revealing to the press and making public dialogues on confidential matters, which he maintained with servers of the Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court as a chief advisor to the special advisory to comply with TSE, to meet the TSE, to attend to TSE Unlawful interests of criminal organization responsible for disseminating fictional news against the hygidity of the electronic voting system and the performance of the Supreme Court and TSE, as well as for the attempted coup d’état and violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, ”says the complaint.
According to the Public Prosecution Service, Tagliaferro would have passed on to the press “confidential dialogues” in order to interfere with the “credibility and smoothness of investigations.” In August 2024, the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo released dialogues between servants of the Special Advisory to Confront the Disinformation (AEED), the TSE organ subordinate to the presidency of the Electoral Court. During the 2022 elections, the post was occupied by Moraes.
The messages noted that the advisory, then headed by Tagliaferro, was called to Munir Moraes inquiries in the STF. In a statement, the Moraes Office stated that, in the course of inquiries, he made requests to numerous organs, including the TSE. According to the magistrate, all actions were taken following the regimental terms.
Among former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) allies, Tagliaferro has become an example of the arbitrariness practiced by Moraes.
