Sérgio Cabral
(MDB), who chose to try a
awarding of the prize
with the Federal Public Prosecutor (MPF) – this information was revealed by GLOBO columnist, Lauro Jardim -, has experienced a new turnaround. The negotiations
between lawyer João Bernardo Kappen
, the MPF and the Attorney General's Office, but, on Sunday night, he informed GLOBO that another office would handle the case. Two weeks ago, he had received a power of attorney from the former governor to represent him in discussions with the authorities.

Following the recent conviction in the Calicute case and the award-winning collaboration of Carlos Miranda, his former financial operator Cabral saw a reduction in the possibilities of his defense through exit routes. of the gift.
Cabral's son, Marco Antônio Cabral, did not respond to the report's contacts to discuss changes in the defense.
Among the promises of the former governor include revelations about corruption in the judiciary and among former high-ranking members of the state prosecutor's office of Rio – the former Attorney General Claudio Lopes was arrested under the accused to receive compensation to protect the former governor.
The confession about the purchase of votes for the organization of the Rio Olympics in 2016 is also on the menu. This project has already been targeted by MPF as part of Operation Unfair Play – Cabral is guilty in the process – and for the possible new position on the Games would represent a radical change from his other statements on the topic.
Francisco Ortigão, professor of criminal law at the UFRJ, explains that the benefits will be related to "the effectiveness" of testimony.
– In cases where he has already been convicted, he may move to a different regime. In addition to the new revelations, it is possible to obtain a pardon for certain crimes and a reduction of up to two-thirds in the custodial sentence.
The possible denunciation represents a new modification of Cabral's defense strategy, whose sentences added to Lava-Jato already exceed 197 years. In the beginning, the former governor denied committing a crime; then admitted that he had used the two-person fund for commercial purposes during election campaigns; recently decided to remain silent on the evidence – last week, the hearing of the Ponto Final operation was delayed after Cabral and another accused said that they would not answer questions.
At another time, Cabral even proposed to the Lava-Jato authorities the confession of crimes in exchange for house arrest, but the conversation was unsuccessful.
