According to the report, Malucelli’s action would be a disobedience to the STF, as minister Ricardo Lewandowski had determined that cases relating to Tacla Duran should be decided by the Supreme Court, not in the TRF-4.
“Marcelo Malucelli, did not declare his suspicion […]moving said process that was suspended by the Federal Supreme Court and revoking decisions by judge Eduardo Appio that were beneficial to Tacla Duran and that could be unfavorable to Sergio Moro, since Tacla Duran had accused the former judge Moro and the former prosecutor of Deltan Dallagnol Republic of extortion,” the report says.
The magistrate’s vote against Malucelli took place in an Extraordinary Virtual Session that continues until Friday (June 28). There is still a vote of 11 councilors, who can follow the rapporteur’s vote or choose by divergence.
