Rodrigo Constantino joked that it would be difficult to explain to American authorities the conviction of someone who supported the United States' decision against Moraes and considered the application of the Magnitsky Act to the minister, whom he called corrupt, to be correct. He said that the convicted person could then ask if they would be sent to Brazil to serve their sentence. #justiça #Brasil #política (translated)

Julio Schneider stated that Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master and arrested for fraud, reported in audios and documents obtained by VEJA a proposal involving R$ 30 million in cash for the Lula Institute. According to Schneider, the account was part of an attachment presented to the Attorney General's Office in June, as part of a second plea bargain proposal that was discarded due to lack of corroboration. According to the version attributed to Vorcaro, Augusto Lima, then partner and CEO of Master, allegedly approached João Vaccari Neto through Jaques Wagner, then leader of Lula's government in the Senate. Vaccari would have conditioned the bank's accreditation for federal pension funds — Previ, Caixa Asset, Funcef, Petros, and Postalis — on two payments to the Lula Institute, headed by Paulo Okamotto: about R$ 30 million in cash to cover expenses of the documentary about Lula directed by Oliver Stone and another undisclosed amount. Schneider also wrote that Vaccari would have asked for 10% of the resources that Master raised from the funds. If the plan had materialized, according to the estimate attributed to Vorcaro, the Workers' Party would receive about R$ 1 billion and Vorcaro R$ 9 billion; the operation did not progress. The author emphasized that this was Vorcaro's version, not a conviction. Schneider also pointed out that, in the audio, Vorcaro contrasted the sponsorship of the film about Bolsonaro, which he described as regular, with the support for the documentary about Lula, which would have been paid in cash. #Lula #Corrupção #Documentário (translated)

Marina Helena stated that Moraes ordered the arrest of Eduardo Bolsonaro during the electoral process, based on a conviction that she considered absurd. According to her, the decision criminalized the right of a citizen and the duty of a parliamentarian to denounce abroad what they considered violations in Brazil. She said that the timing of the order indicated an attempt to send a message to the opposition and to disrupt the elections, since, according to her, the United States would not comply with the orders. Marina Helena also stated that it was not possible to negotiate with someone she classified as a dictator. #Justiça #Política #Eleições (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that a large-scale fire destroyed laboratories and research at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) on the night of Wednesday, October 7. According to her, the rector Alfredo Macedo Gomes estimated the damages at R$ 100 million. The author said that, before the conclusion of an investigation into the origin of the flames, the case was already politically associated with supporters of Flávio Bolsonaro. She linked this association to the circulation of anonymous screenshots with threats attributed to Bolsonaro supporters, released by elected federal deputy Jones Manoel from the PSOL party. According to Michelin, he announced that he would request investigations from the Federal Police and the Federal Public Ministry, but there was no confirmed identification of the authors, public authentication of the conversations, or evidence presented that linked the threats to the fire. Michelin also mentioned protests organized by university entities at UFPE on October 6, following the results of the first round, which, according to her, consolidated the advance of the right in Congress. The author questioned who produced and published the screenshots and why political accusations emerged before the conclusion of the investigations. She argued that the hypothesis of a "false flag" should be investigated, including the possible fabrication of political accusations, and stated that using anonymous messages to politically condemn someone without proof could escalate tensions in the country before the second round. #IncêndioUFPE #LiberdadeAcadêmica #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Julio Freiress wrote that an editorial in Folha de S.Paulo criticized Kassio Nunes for considering the release of Bolsonaro after the elections and deemed his conviction for attempted coup d'état to be fair. Freiress also stated that, in his assessment, the group behaved as if they had won everything and were the owners of Brazil. #Brasil #Política #Justiça (translated)

A SPACE LIBERDADE stated that Nunes Marques had told aides that he considered Bolsonaro's conviction exaggerated and that he would only judge the case after the election, believing that his vote could cause "national commotion." https://t.co/3R0D2b1LuI #Bolsonaro #Justiça #Eleições (translated)

Karina Michelin wrote that the 2026 elections provoked a significant change in the Senate, whose new composition would take office in February 2027. Of the 54 seats up for election, 40 would be occupied by new senators. According to her, the PL elected 19 names and would have 28 of the 81 seats, the largest party caucus at the beginning of a legislature since the 1988 Constitution. Michelin stated that the new Senate would have 49 right-wing lawmakers, 16 center, and 16 left, while the absolute majority required 41 votes. She also cited a survey from Folha indicating that at least 49 senators had already expressed support for the impeachment of Supreme Court ministers — five fewer than the 54 votes needed for a conviction. The author noted that these numbers did not signify automatic removal and said that the presidency of the Senate would be decisive. Under Davi Alcolumbre, dozens of requests against Supreme ministers had not advanced, she wrote. She recalled that Alcolumbre stated in September that there were 109 requests involving members of the Court. Michelin highlighted Rogério Marinho as one of the candidates to preside over the House and stated that he had presented a proposal to establish a deadline for analyzing impeachment requests. She also wrote that some of the elected senators campaigned advocating limits on the actions of the Supreme and the accountability of ministers for any abuse of power. According to the author, the 49 votes from the same ideological camp could allow the approval of matters by absolute majority and, if there was unity, reach the three-fifths needed to approve PECs in the Senate. She assessed that the electoral result had changed the correlation of forces in the House and could lead to discussions on issues that had remained paralyzed. #Eleições2026 #Senado #PolíticaBrasil (translated)

Sérgio Santos wrote that, in his assessment, the image showed that the issue had never been the fight against corruption or the defense of morality in politics. He also stated that it was not about the condemnation of involvement with Daniel Vorcaro, the INSS scandal, or connections with crime. https://t.co/zeun6ytGgK #Corrupção #Política #Moralidade (translated)

URGENT! Bolsonaro requests the annulment of the conviction for attempted coup; the rapporteur will be Nunes Marques THE NAME OF THIS IS COUP https://t.co/xQiGQlGHxD #Bolsonaro #Golpe #Brasil (translated)

URGENT: BOLSONARO REQUESTS THE ANNULMENT OF THE CONVICTION USING MORAES' OWN WORDS. Relator of the request: Kassio Nunes Marques. The defense uses the MASTER CASE as an argument: in the process, Moraes stated the necessity of full access to the evidence and sufficient time to analyze the seized content. Now, the defense argues that the same right was denied to Bolsonaro during the criminal action. The criminal review requests the suspension of the sentence of 27 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS and questions the limitation of defense. MORAES' STATEMENTS ARE NOW USED AGAINST THE VERY CONDUCT OF THE PROCESS. #Bolsonaro #Justiça #DireitosHumano (translated)
