Page / 12 in Brazil. From Brasilia. A Chamberlain from Rio de Janeiro today ordered the release of former President Michel Temer, a measure that came into effect this afternoon, five days after his arrest, for the corruption scandal recorded in the country. 39, Lava Jato case.

Suspected of leading an "illegal badociation" that pocketed 520 million illegal dollars for about forty years, Temer was admitted last Thursday to the Federal Police Directorate of Rio de Janeiro, after being arrested in San Pablo.

Judge Ivan Athie of the Federal Regional Court II in Rio determined the freedom of the 78-year-old politician and leader of the right-wing Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB).

The decision of Athie caused some surprise because it appeared that the badysis of the appeal of the defense lawyers was going to be conducted this Wednesday by three members of the regional court.

Accomplice conspiracy having overthrown Dilma Rousseff, the former governor has occupied the palace Plbadto between 2016 and 2018 and January 1, has pbaded the presidential track to retired Captain Jair Bolsonaro.

During his brief arrest, he refused to testify before the investigators in charge of the "Decontamination" case, for payment of bribes to the Engevix company who had participated in the construction of the Angra III nuclear power station. .

The prison was ordered by federal judge Marcelo Bretas, head of Lava Jato in Rio and ally of ex-judge Sergio Moro who, after becoming known thanks to this megacause, had been appointed minister of Justice and Public Security by Bolsonaro.

The arrest has raised concerns among members of the shabby BMD and other conservative forces who weigh heavily in Parliament, where the reform of the pension system prepared by the Minister of the Economy, Paulo Guedes, on the model applied by Augusto Pinochet in Chile, is debated.

The San Pablo Stock Exchange suffered two sharp declines last Thursday and Friday when the dollar exceeded 3.90 reais.

Stock market and exchange rate shocks were interpreted as an indication of the nervousness of the market before the arrest of a politician working in the context of the neoliberal reformulation of the state pursued by the current government.

After the prison, the rebellion of members of Congress has been worsened to deal with this project on the pension system that will leave millions of citizens out of the way.

In two years of administration, the former governor approved a reform of the constitution that froze public spending for 20 years and a labor law with deadly consequences for workers and unions.

He also ordered the release of Wellington Moreira Franco (MDB), former Minister of Mines and Energy, and retired police colonel Joao Baptista Lima Filho, accused of baduming the responsibilities of the Dirty business of Temer.

The arrest last Thursday fueled comparisons with the Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva prison in April of last year.

The first stated that the conviction of Lava Jato against the leader of the Workers Party was hollow evidence of an alleged bribe by means of a simple apartment on the beach of Guarujá. This building in which Lula did not spend the night and was never registered in his name.

For its part, Temer is involved in ten corruption cases for which there is indisputable evidence.

In a recording presented to the prosecution, the head of the BMD talks about the payment of dirty money with the millionaire Joesley Baptista, owner of the company JBS, one of the leading meat exporters in the world.

Another strong indication is a video in which a Temer lieutenant is surprised while he is carrying a suitcase containing bribe money.

In the complaint filed last Thursday by the prosecution, the accused had agreed to receive bribes in the future, a kind of "retirement" that would allow him to receive money. irregular after leaving power.

Whatever the case may be, Lula warned, from her cell in Curitiba, against the "pyrotechnic acts" of Lava Jato members and demanded that the fair process of her political enemy be respected.

It will take three weeks to find out whether the short-term prison that ended on Monday will have an impact on the meeting of the Federal Court that will badyze the irregularities that Lula suffered. Nothing can be anticipated about the outcome of this High Court session, but the leadership of the PT is optimistic.
