Why It Matters
Filipe Martins was convicted for alleged participation in the preparation of the 'coup draft' during the Bolsonaro government. The case is being processed by the STF under the report of Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
The presence of Federal Police delegates in the offices of ministers of the Federal Supreme Court, one of the topics of the tense court session this Tuesday morning (15), was also the subject of controversy during the trial of the attempted coup by Bolsonarists.
The defense of Filipe Martins, former advisor to the Presidency in Jair Bolsonaro's government, criticized the fact that PF delegate Fábio Shor, who participated in the investigations that affected him, was transferred to Moraes' office during the trial phase of the embargoes. The argument is that this created a conflict of interests and an imbalance in the case.
Shor was appointed to the minister's office in March, following a request from Moraes himself. He remained linked to the rapporteur in April, when Martins' defense filed an embargo against the former advisor's conviction.
According to the defense, the police chief, in practice, helped to examine an appeal against the investigation that he himself had conducted. Shor would have been called by Moraes to speak out about the criticism made by lawyers about his performance.
Martins, currently imprisoned in Ponta Grossa (PR), was convicted of helping to draw up the so-called "coup draft" for Bolsonaro, which he denies.
Open Questions
- Will there be a decision from the STF on the defense request?
- What is the official position of Moraes' office on the transfer?
