Defense of those suspected of harassing Moraes considers asking for images

The defense of the family investigated on suspicion of harassing Alexandre de Moraes, Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), says that he is considering requesting images of the Rome airport from the Italian judicial authorities.

The Federal Police is waiting for the videos from the security cameras to assess the conduct of Brazilians. Interpol has already received the material, however it will only be able to send it to Brazil after authorization from the Italian Justice, according to information from Folha de S.Paulo.

The family’s defense states that it does not fear access to the material after it has been made available to the Brazilian authorities. “It is fair that both parties receive the material, at the same time, being able to analyze it in its entirety (…) We have already requested access to the images in the records that are being processed by the STF. We are waiting for a decision in this regard.

The STF minister alleges that he was called a “bandit”, “communist” and “bought” by a group at the airport in Rome and that his son also suffered an attack.
