STF files inquiry against Renan Calheiros and Jader Barbalho

Supreme and TSE resume sessions after recess

Minister Edson Fachin of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) determined today (10) the shelving of an inquiry involving senators Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL) and Jader Barbalho (MDB-PA). STF files inquiry against Renan Calheiros and Jader Barbalho

The case is an offshoot of Operation Lava Jato and deals with the alleged payment of undue advantages to Senate MDB politicians in contracts for Transpetro, a subsidiary of Petrobras, between 2004 and 2014. The accusations were made by Sérgio Machado, one of Lava’s whistleblowers Jato and former president of the company.

In the decision, Fachin understood that the opinion of the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) in favor of archiving must be followed.

“Considering the conclusive report of the police authority [polícia federal] when opining for the exhaustion of the lines of investigation without corroboration of the facts investigated, it is necessary to grant the request made by the PGR”, decided the minister.

In the opinion sent to the STF, the Deputy Attorney General of the Republic, Lindôra Araújo, understood that the investigation should be archived due to the lack of evidence against the accused.

“The investigation did not gather the minimum evidentiary support to support the filing of a complaint against the investigated federal parliamentarians”, he concluded.
