News: Moraes team angry with US and Interpol – 08/17/2024 – Power

A 2022 conversation with Minister Alexandre de Moraes between two judges, one from the STF (Supreme Federal Court) and the other from the TSE (High Electoral Court) expresses the minister’s office’s dissatisfaction with Interpol and the US government’s position. The case of Bolsonaro blogger Alan dos Santos.

Because of the attack on institutions and democracy, the influencer is investigated in digital militancy and fake news investigations. He has a preventive arrest warrant issued against him by Moraes and is considered a fugitive from Brazilian justice.

Last Wednesday (14), he was the target of a new arrest warrant issued by Moraes on suspicion of crimes against honor, obstruction of justice and threats.

In October 2021, Moraes was arrested by the US, where he had been living since he was the target of PF searches in Brazil, placed on Interpol’s red notice and ordered to extradite Allen.

The conversation between Judges Airton Vieira, Moraes’ right-hand man at the STF, and Marco Antonio Vargas from the TSE (High Electoral Court) Presidency Office took place in November 2022 and is part of more than 6 gigabytes of conversations between members. Moraes offices are accessible sheet.

When contacted, the office of Minister Alexandre de Moraes said, “All procedures are official, routine and duly documented in the ongoing investigations and investigations at the STF with the full participation of the Attorney General’s Office.”

Alan do Santos became a topic in WhatsApp groups after appearing in videos during a demonstration against five STF ministers who participated in a private event in New York.

On November 14, 2022, Judge Marco Antonio Vargas sent messages from Minister Moraes to the panel where Airton Vieira was present.

The text was accompanied by a link to a post on social media with a video of a Bolsonaro blogger offending a Brazilian as they left the hotel where the STF ministers were staying.

“Ask Ayrton to talk to PF about red alert”, reads the text of a message the judge sent from Moraes’ office at TSE.

Ayrton Vieira told his colleague that he had already contacted an Interpol representative in Brazil. According to him, Interpol in Washington and the agency’s Brazilian liaison were also approached to take action against Alan dos Santos.

When Judge Marco Antonio Vargas asked whether Interpol had included the blogger’s name in the red alert, the judge assigned to the STF sent an audio explaining the situation.

“The issue of the red alert is a long story, but in short it is this: the request for the red alert was already made a year ago, but it is in Leon, the headquarters of Interpol. And the people there have not yet responded, he has refused to do so and Interpol in Brazil has made several requests to no avail. ” said Airton Vieira.

According to him, despite several requests, Interpol’s central office in France did not include Allen’s name in the red alert and gave “the understanding that the problem may have a political bias”.

“It was done a year ago, we’ve been listening and they haven’t done it. This means, in fact, Alan dos Santos has not been arrested until now,” he said.

As of November 2022, the US has “not even formally responded” to the extradition request, the judge commented in the audio.

“Interpol’s central office in Lyon did not put his name on red alert, the US did not respond to the extradition request, which was already done even on the basis of his pre-trial detention, that is the situation,” he said. .

After the audio, the two judges exchanged some news about the Alan dos Santos case. They further explained their dissatisfaction with the position of Interpol and the US government.

However, Airton Vieira said the “Interpol people” believe the situation could change with a change of government and the inauguration of Lula (PT). “I’m not going to answer the minister because he should be familiar with this story,” said judge Marco Antonio Vargas.

“Yes, you know the story in detail. You don’t agree, that’s right. But we can’t do anything about this Interpol issue and extradition issue. We did everything we could and we followed through. But the Interpol Red Alert in Lyon dropped the request and the US didn’t resolve the extradition issue.

In another news, the TSE judge characterized Interpol and the US government’s stance as “brutal”. Ayrton later said: “Absolutely. That’s why this idiot Alan dos Santos feels free to do what he does…”.

“It makes me want to send some thugs to grab this guy by force and put him on a Brazilian plane,” Marco Antonio Vargas said.

After the news, Ayrton Vieira also sent the final audio on the topic. In the message, he reiterated the situation at Interpol and raised the tone of his criticism of the US government.

“If they want to send you away because you don’t like your eyes, they’ll make some excuse and put you on the first flight, deport, deport, kick your ass, whatever you want, but they’ll do whatever they want. They want to understand anybody.

“They have their time, their interests, and that is the whole problem, that is the question.”

The judge also reinforced the idea that the regime change in Brazil would facilitate the extradition process.

“Because if Alan dos Santos matters a little to us, they have zero importance. So even if the Brazilian government is in a different direction, they’re not going to buy headaches from the Brazilian government. Things can happen from January 1. Change, I don’t know,” he said.

As shown by sheet In March of this year, the US government informed Brazil that it would not extradite Alan dos Santos for what Americans consider to be crimes of expression, guaranteed by the right to freedom of expression.

However, the Americans said they were willing to continue the process against influencers in connection with other crimes such as money laundering.
