Eduardo Bolsonaro: Opening of inquiry in the Supreme Court is ‘unfair and desperate measure’

Licensed federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) used social networks on the afternoon of Monday, 26, to say that the opening of an inquiry in the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to investigate his performance in the United States against Brazilian authorities is an “unjust and desperate measure”.

In one of the publications, Eduardo states that “nothing has changed” since the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) spoke against the court seizing his passport in March, the same day the deputy said he would be in the American country, where he was traveling.

“I have not changed my tone. There is no new conduct. There is a PGR acting politically. That’s why I reaffirm: in Brazil there is a state of exception, ‘justice’ depends on the client, the process depends on the cover. So I decided to stay in the US, to be free and well to defend the freedoms of Brazilians, something almost impossible to do in Brazil today,” wrote Eduardo.

At the time, Attorney General Paulo Gonet stated that the request of the PT and Deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT) did not present minimal elements that justified the opening of an investigation.

Now, the PGR’s request, answered by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, attributes to the deputy a campaign of intimidation and persecution against members of the Supreme Court, PGR and the Federal Police (PF) involved in investigations and proceedings against pockets.

The Attorney General mentioned as an example the statement by the Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, who said on Wednesday, that “there is great possibility” of Minister Alexandre de Moraes was the target of sanctions by the government of Donald Trump.

In another publication, in a video, Eduardo says that Gonet is one of the “main human rights violators” and states that his participation in criminal actions against those involved in the January 8 breaker is “dirty and cowardly”.

In the investigation request, the PGR stated that the deputy’s conduct may be framed in three crimes: coercion in the course of the process, embarrassment to the investigation of criminal offense involving criminal organization and violent abolition of the democratic rule of law.

According to the request, Eduardo acts on “retaliatory motivation” and with “manifest intimidatory tone” to try to “embarrass the progress of the technical trial” of the criminal action of the coup and “disturb the technical work” of the Federal Police.
