RIO – The change of defense strategy of the former governor of Rio
Sérgio Cabral
(MDB), who chose to try a
awarding of the prize
with the Federal Public Prosecutor (MPF) – the information has been
revealed Sunday by GLOBO columnist Lauro Jardim
– will bring about a change in the team that defends the emedebista in the processes of the
Operation Lava-Jet Operation Lava-Jet
. The lawyer Rodrigo Roca, who has been busy with the case in mid-2017, has decided to leave the case, for not having accepted the new plans of the L & R. Former governor.
Following the recent condemnation of the Calicute operation and the award-winning collaboration of his former financial operator, Carlos Miranda, Sérgio Cabral, saw the tightening of his defense pathways through external channels to the denunciation .
Among the promises of the former governor include revelations about corruption in the judiciary and among former senior members of the state prosecutor's office of Rio – the former Attorney General Claudio Lopes was arrested under the accused to receive an allowance to protect the former governor and his political group.
The purchase of votes for the organization of the Rio Olympics in 2016 is also on the menu. The project has already been targeted in the operation Unfair Play – Cabral is defendant in the process – and the new position on the Games would represent a radical change from his other statements on the subject. In August, judge Marcelo Bretas, the former governor, described the denunciation to which African countries had sold the vote as "racial prejudice". According to investigators, the bribe was paid by businessman Arthur Soares, King Arthur, who had several contracts with the state.
Francisco Ortigão, professor of criminal law at the UFRJ, explains that the possible benefits will be linked to the "efficiency" of what Cabral intends to count,
– With respect to cases in which he has already been convicted, he may have the advantage of serving his sentence as a progression of a different regime. In new revelations, he can obtain a pardon for certain crimes and a reduction of custodial sentences of up to two-thirds. What he can not have, it is procedural immunity, because the indictment states that he is the head of the criminal organization.
The eventual demarcation represents a new modification of Cabral's defense strategy, whose sentences in Lava-Jato have already exceeded 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 in the depositions – last week, the hearing of the Ponto Final operation was postponed following Cabral and another accused has previously indicated that he would not respond to the questions.
At another time, Cabral even proposed to the authorities of Lava-Jato the confession of crimes in exchange for house arrest, but the conversation was unsuccessful.
Lawyer João Bernardo Kappen had started negotiations, but he announced Sunday night that another office would take over. Cabral's son, MP Marco Antônio Cabral, did not respond to the report's contacts.
