Tsuki found it "sensational" that the magazine Veja had directly accused Lula's campaign of spreading false news against the publication. He then summarized the arguments from a response by the magazine regarding its report about Vorcaro. According to the text from Veja reproduced by Tsuki, Vorcaro's lawyer would have confirmed the authenticity of the audio, and the magazine stated that it removed five short statements — 15 seconds in total — to protect the source. The publication also clarified that it did not say that the audio was included in the plea bargain nor that the confession was made to the Federal Police. Regarding the PGR, the magazine claimed that Vorcaro, through his lawyers, presented an account regarding the funding of a documentary about Lula and promised to deliver documents if the plea bargain was accepted, which did not happen. Tsuki also stated that some outlets were using "jurists" in their headlines to conceal, according to his assessment, that the coordination of Lula's presidential campaign was spreading false news against Veja's cover story. #PolíticaBR #FakeNews #Eleições2022 (translated)

Allan Dos Santos related Minister Fux's decision to investigate Alexandre de Moraes’s actions to his own judicial experience in 2021. According to him, the magazine IstoÉ was ordered to pay moral damages and to grant a right of response for reports that accused him, along with Terça Livre, of receiving public money from Carlos Bolsonaro during the Bolsonaro government. Dos Santos stated that the cases were proceeding in the common court of Brasília, but that after the conviction, a law firm linked, according to him, to corruption scandals of the PT appealed directly to Moraes's office. The lawyer submitted Pet 9748, which, by the minister's determination, was converted into constitutional complaint Rcl 48870. According to Dos Santos, Moraes annulled the convictions in both cases. He added that the PGR expressed that the complaint was unfounded, seeing no legal basis to annul the convictions, and that Moraes denied his lawyers' appeals, preventing the court from reviewing the case. Dos Santos also said that petitions questioning the validity of the complaint were ignored and argued that deputies and senators should take the case to Fux. #Justiça #DireitosHumanos #Corrupção (translated)

Rui Pinto released a statement from his lawyers Francisco Teixeira da Mota, Luísa Teixeira da Mota, William Bourdon, and Vincent Brengarth, who described the decision of the Portuguese authorities to end the special security program that had protected him since August 2020 as shameful. According to the lawyers, Pinto was informed on Wednesday that the protection would end on October 10 and that he would have to leave the protected residence, having not been heard beforehand nor receiving guarantees that police protection would continue. The lawyers stated that the situation was critical, noting that Pinto had been assaulted in Lisbon in April and that several legal proceedings related to his revelations were ongoing. They cited, as an example, a decision by the independent Premier League committee regarding Manchester City, made just a few days earlier. They added that Pinto's cooperation with the Portuguese justice system justified his entry into the protection program and that his revelations had been used by judicial, tax, and sports authorities in several European countries, including France. The statement indicated that an administrative appeal with suspensive effect would be presented. The lawyers said they had requested the Ministry of Justice to reconsider the decision, disclose the elements of the risk reassessment, listen to Pinto, and ensure the continuation of protection. They stated that they had not yet received a response and characterized the decision and the manner in which it was made as an act of "state terrorism." #Justiça #DireitosHumanos #Transparência (translated)
