Marco Aurélio: decision against Deltan is outside the law – 05/17/2023 – Power

Former minister Marco Aurélio, who served on the STF (Supreme Federal Court) for 31 years, says he was “perplexed” by the decision of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) to revoke the mandate of federal deputy Deltan Dallagnol (Podemos-PR) .

The former magistrate criticizes the position adopted by the electoral court: “It was an interpretation outside the legal order”.

Marco Aurélio says that “they buried Lava Jato and now they want to bury those who were the protagonists” of the operation.

The former minister mentions that the former head of the Lava Jato task force did not respond to any PAD (disciplinary administrative process) when he left the Federal Public Ministry.

He mentions this because the Lei da Ficha Limpa determines that former members of the MPF who have left office with pending cases of this nature must be declared ineligible.

In Dallagnol’s case, he even responded to two PADs, but complied with the procedures and asked for the prosecution’s dismissal with 15 representations against him without analysis, but which had not yet become disciplinary proceedings.

“I was perplexed because I found out today watching the news that there weren’t even PAD”, he says.
