Gilmar criticizes the "canonization" of Lava Jato Minister Gilmar Mendes, of the Federal Supreme Court, defended Friday, 6, in London, decisions in which he revoked prisons ordered by trial judges of the lava

Jato and baderted that there was a moment of "canonization" of the operation in the country, in which any questioning to it was considered "antirepublicano". Gilmar also said that the law of abuse of power is one of the things that Brazil must "think" for the next few years.

"At one point, there was the canonization of Lava Jet, so any decision against the action of (Sergio Sérgio) Moro was considered anti-republican, antipatriotic or" antiqualquercoisa ", which is stupid, "said Gilmar. The Minister granted an interview to Stake / Broadcast in a hotel in the English capital, where he attended a seminar at the University of London and where he spoke about the 30 years of the Brazilian Constitution

" Lava Jato started to think, wanted to legislate, change habeas corpus and other things.Then it was found that they were likely to serious problems and that the corruption was near, as in the case of (former Attorney Marcello) Miller, "said Gilmar, referring to the former Attorney General who became last week

The Minister criticized the procedures adopted by the Federal Police and the Federal Public Prosecutor not only in the Lava Jato, but also in the Weak Meat and Satiagraha operations, where he was used as a lawyer for the J & F group. He was questioned for having revoked the decisions rendered by the first instance. About this, Gilmar said that he was "very calm". "

He mentioned that in the case of Operation Satiagraha, in which he twice revoked arrest warrants against banker Daniel Dantas of Opportunity Bank, there was the same discussion. "I gave an injunction (releasing the impresario). Then the judge had him arrested again and I gave him a new injunction for him to be free. The prosecution proceeded, and he was acquitted. "

For the minister, there is confusion," sometimes even deliberate ", in connection with the remand institute." Many idealize it as an immediate punishment, but it is not not the case. "

In the interview, the minister defended the reformulation of the law that deals with the abuse of power in the country, in which case he referred to the work of the former Attorney General of the Republic Rodrigo Janot, in charge of negotiating and signing the price agreements of the collaboration of the former leaders of the J & F Group. This material founded two denunciations offered by the Office of the Attorney General against President Michel Temer – banned by the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies

"Did Dr. Janot, in fact, want to overthrow the president for that? So it's the first coup attempt that's been made in 30 years and does not come from the military, "said Gilmar, who then defended the discussions on the limits of powers of research institutions, such as the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office

"No such operation can be carried out in less than six months. They compressed for less than three months, since the timing was related to the interference of the president in the estate. If it was the furniture, it can be said that there was an attempted coup d'etat, and that there was a gestation at the public prosecutor's office. It is something thinkable and needs to be clarified. After the elections, the Congress will react to this, "he said, referring to the procedure that led to the denunciations against Temer
