RIO E BRASÍLIA – The Superintendence of Ibama in Rio canceled a R $ 10,000 fine related to the environment that had been applied in 2012 to the president
Jair Bolsonaro
irregular fishing in Angra dos Reis, on the green coast. The decision was taken on December 20, when he had not yet badumed the presidency, after the opinion of the Prosecutor General's Office (AGU) to argue that Bolsonaro was not entitled to a defense sufficient in the process.
The information was published by the newspaper "Folha de S. Paulo" and confirmed by GLOBO. The trial had already pbaded with the first and second jury of IBAMA who had decided to maintain the fine. In both cases, Bolsonaro appealed. When the case concerning the registration of the active debt arrived at the AGU, the agency felt that the decisions in two IBAMA cases were unfounded. and that Bolsonaro would not have had the opportunity to present his defense.
With the decision, the case will be reviewed again in the first instance and a new trial will be opened, expanding the possibility of appeal. The standard in cases of environmental fines enforcement is that Ibama follows the recommendation of the AGU, which happened in the case concerning the president. The decision was officially communicated to Bolsonaro in a letter from Ibama's deputy superintendent in Rio.
On January 25, 2012, the prosecutor arrested the president in a boat inside the Tamoios ecological station at Angra. His presence is prohibited on the site. He was photographed by an Ibama agent with a fishing rod. In the defense presented, the president claimed that he was at Santos Dumont airport at the time of the fine. Bolsonaro cites however the date on which the offense was established in March, and not the day the behavior was stopped in January. . The delay between the capture and the official registration is due to the refusal of the president to present the documents, which was communicated by the agents during the process.
In a note, Ibama stated that "the AGU had badessed, in an order rendered on 07/12/2018, that the decisions of the 1st and 2nd instance would be null for failure to state reasons and referred the file to Ibama. " According to the institute, the deal was overseen by the Rio Superintendency.
In March 2016, the second panel of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) unanimously rejected the complaint for environmental crime filed by the Federal Prosecutor's Office (MPF).
Exemption of the President of Ibama
Suely Araújo, President of IBAMA,
was exonerated yesterday after criticizing the Environment Minister Ricardo Salles
, and Bolsonaro himself to a high organ contract for the rental of vans for the inspection of environmental crimes. Bolsonaro has already complained repeatedly about "environmental fines". Salles, for its part, says that there are many indictments and that few result in effective punishment. In the coming days, Ibama must take over the procurator Eduardo Bim, appointed by Salles for the post.
