The Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras, stated this Thursday (7) that the Lava Jato operation left a “damned legacy” for Brazil. The statement was made in a note published on Aras’ personal profile on the social network X, formerly known as Twitter.
The note was published one day after Dias Toffoli, minister of the Federal Supreme Court, invalidated all evidence obtained through the leniency agreement of the construction company Odebrecht and the company’s bribery systems. The leniency agreement between the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) and Odebrecht, within the scope of Lava Jato, was signed in December 2016 and approved in May 2017 by the then judge Sergio Moro, now a senator from Paraná for União Brasil.
“I was accused of destroying Lava Jato, when I only institutionalized and depersonalized the Public Ministry. Today, society sees its true cursed legacy, its ‘modus operandi’ that takes lives, politics, the economy and insults national sovereignty”, states the PGR in the note.
For Aras, the Federal Constitution was “torn up by a few and noisy members of the Justice system”. He continues, stating that “we have a duty to comply with the Constitution, torn up by a few and noisy members of the Justice system. Only with institutional balance, respect for the limits of each Power and our Greater Law, will we have a fraternal Brazil”.
