Minister Alexandre de Moraes, from The Federal Supreme Court (STF) on Monday (8) removed the secrecy of the inquiry into the sale of jewelry received by former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) between 2019 and 2022, when he was in power.
In the decision, Moraes determined that the lawyers of the people cited have full access to the process. In addition, the minister gave 15 days for the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) to analyze the case.
