The Senate appealed against the suspension of the breach of banking, tax and telematic secrecy of Maridt Participações SA. Access to data had been approved by the Organized Crime CPI and was invalidated in a decision by Federal Supreme Court Minister Gilmar Mendes, last Friday (27).
In the appeal, the Senate asks for the determination to be revoked, pointing out a procedural error, as it was made in a process that had already been archived. It would be a violation of the “natural judge” principle, according to the House, which still maintains that the CPI has the power to break confidentiality and highlighted the protocol for approving the request (substantiated, approved by the collegiate and linked to the object of the investigation).
The Senate maintains that there is no “right not to be investigated” and emphasizes that Maridt is only investigated, not accused or convicted. In addition, reports were attached that would point to evidence that Maridt was a shell company, that it used “scams” and that it had patrimonial inconsistencies. If the appeal is accepted by Gilmar as an appeal, the Senate’s request can be analyzed by the 2nd Panel of the STF.
