The president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Luís Roberto Barroso, sent tough messages to President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and attacked what he called “digital militias” by reopening, this Tuesday, the 1st, the work of the Court. The minister accused Bolsonaro of leaking confidential data from the Federal Police (PF) investigation into the TSE and said that the disclosure helped criminal groups operating on the internet that attack the Electoral Justice.
“Confidential information that was provided to the PF to assist an investigation was leaked by the President of the Republic himself on social networks. Spreading data that helps digital militias and hackers from around the world who want to invade our equipment. The President of the Republic leaked,” he said.
The direct citation to the president occurs at a time of tension between the Planalto Palace and the country’s high courts. of Moraes. Last Friday, the Chief Executive did not comply with a court decision handed down by the rapporteur who summoned him to testify in person to the PF.
Federal Police delegate Denisse Dias Rosas Ribeiro told the STF that elements gathered during the investigation into the disclosure of a secret investigation into a hacker attack on the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) systems point to Bolsonaro’s “direct, voluntary and conscious action” in the practice of the crime of violation of functional secrecy.
themes
Barroso addressed two issues that his administration has been confronting: Bolsonaro’s attacks and the difficult cooperation with the technology companies responsible for social networks. Regarding the President of the Republic, the minister stated that “there are no adjectives to qualify the deliberate attitude of facilitating the exposure of the Brazilian electoral process to attacks by criminals”.
He also sent a message to the members of the Elections Transparency Commission, highlighting the need to preserve the information that circulates in the group. The thematic committee brings together representatives of public and private entities, such as the Armed Forces, and its function is to give greater confidence to the electoral process. The president of the TSE publicly demanded from the members of the commission the guarantee that there will be no undue leaks.
Barroso was also categorical in defending that “platforms that want to operate in Brazil must be subject to Brazilian legislation and the country’s judicial authorities”. The Court tries to put pressure on those responsible for the Telegram messaging application – one of the main tools used by the Bolsonarista network on the internet -, which has not responded to the magistrates’ requests for information. The collegiate should discuss the possibility of suspending or banning the platform in the country, if they consider that its availability to users could jeopardize this year’s elections.
“No social media can become a mafia space, where pedophilia, the sale of weapons, drugs, counterfeit bills, or campaigns against democracy are circulated.”
The minister leaves the presidency of the TSE in February, when Edson Fachin takes over.
