PF searches the residence of the couple investigated for hostility to Moraes – 07/18/2023 – Power

This Tuesday (18) the Federal Police are carrying out a search and seizure warrant at the residence of the couple Roberto Mantovani Filho and Andreia Munarão, investigated after the approach to STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes and family members at Rome’s international airport, on Friday ( 14).

This Tuesday, Mantovani and Munarão were questioned by the federal police in Piracicaba (SP). An investigation was initiated by the corporation to clarify the facts.

The defense of Mantovani, 71, says that the businessman reported in a statement that he had reacted to offenses and “removed” a person who would be the magistrate’s son.

According to attorney Ralph Tórtima, however, he denies that there was any push or aggression and claims that he acted after his wife was disrespected. He says that there was no political motivation and that, in the midst of the misunderstanding, the family did not even know if they were people connected to Moraes.

The episode took place at the international airport in Rome, Italy, last Friday (14). The minister reported having been called a “bandit”, “communist” and “bought” by a group and that his son –lawyer Alexandre Barci de Moraes, 27– suffered an aggression, causing his glasses to fall to the floor.

After him, his wife, Andreia Munarão, will also give her version to the police. The couple was accompanied in Rome by Alex Zanata Bignotto, his son-in-law, and Giovanni Mantovani, his son. On Sunday (16), Bignotto testified for two hours to the PF and denied the accusation of offending the minister.
