Federal Judge Sergio Moro, responsible for the processes of Lava Jet in Curitiba, denied on Monday asked the Odebrecht executives defenses to redistribute criminal proceedings against the president of the contractor, Marcelo Odebrecht, and other employees. The builder attempts to bring cases to Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo.
Last week, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) precedent opened for slicing Lava jet to break up the investigation against the senator Gleisi Hoffmann, Paraná PT, hitherto concentrated in the hands of the minister Teori Zavascki.
The first consequence of the decision to spread pieces of Lava Jet for Justice in the states - to plead defenders of Odebrecht executives - taking considerable part of the judge's responsibility to research Moro and team of attorneys from the Federal Public Ministry of Paraná. "The dispersion of criminal procedures, as part of the defenses intended to spread various organs of the judiciary in the country does not serve the cause of justice, with the purpose spray the evidence together and obstruct the trial," said the judge in his decision.
"There is a set of related facts and the same evidence set that require evaluation by a single judgment," he continues. "It can be argued where the major part of the crimes. Considering all criminal cases involving Lava Operation Jet, this is a question difficult to answer. Unequivocal, however, that there are also consummated crimes in the state of Paraná, which is illustrated not only by the examples above, but because two of the main characters involved, José Janene and Alberto Youssef reside here and keep part of their operations in this state, "argues Moro.
The Supreme also undermines the central pillar of Lava jet: it was the same gang who operated a continuous assault on the Republic, whose background was a party perpetuation project Workers and their allies in power. "As is clear from the complaint content, the facts fall within the broader context of what determined by Lava Operation Jet: bids adjustment in Petrobras contracts, Petrobras leaders of corruption, money laundering arising, there is no way of not recognizing the connection between the facts, "writes the magistrate.
