Bolsonaro is a victim of himself, says criminalist – 06/23/2023 – Panel

Criminalist lawyer Sérgio Rosenthal says that former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is a “victim of himself” in the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) trial that could make him ineligible.

“Apparently, the TSE will not stick to judging an isolated fact. And the work as a whole is extremely unfavorable to Bolsonaro. The TSE is an impartial court”, says Rosenthal to the Panel.

The action focuses on a meeting with ambassadors held by the then president less than three months before the first round, when Bolsonaro made false and distorted statements about the electoral process, claiming to be based on official data, in addition to seeking to discredit TSE ministers.

Benedito Gonçalves, rapporteur for the action and electoral inspector general, included in the process the draft of the coup decree found in the house of Anderson Torres, Bolsonaro’s former minister, which was endorsed by the other ministers.

The measure was seen as a clear signal that the court will not limit itself to the meeting in isolation, which has motivated protests from Bolsonaro’s defense.
