Michelle Bolsonaro says she could make secrets available without breaking

Former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro said, this Friday morning (18), that she could make her banking and tax secrets available to the authorities if asked. The statement was a response to the authorization given by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), on Thursday night (17), at the request of the Federal Police in the investigation that investigates the receipt of official gifts by the government of the former president. Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

“Why break my banking and tax secrecy? Just ask me! Those who shouldn’t, don’t fear, ”she said in a post on social networks.

Still according to the former first lady, she and Bolsonaro are being targets of a “political persecution, full of juggling and inflamed by the media”. Michelle Bolsonaro claims that this “is aimed at tarnishing my family name and trying to make me give up. They won’t make it.”

The former president has yet to comment on Moraes’ decision. His defense was sought by the People’s Gazettebut did not answer calls from the report.

The PF suspects that those being investigated would have used the government structure to “misappropriate goods of high patrimonial value, delivered by foreign authorities in official missions to representatives of the Brazilian State, through the sale of these items abroad”.

Earlier, Moraes also authorized the request for international cooperation made by the PF to ask the United States to break the bank secrecy of the accounts that those investigated in the Saudi jewelry case have in Florida.
