Minister Dias Toffoli, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), took advantage of his last weekend of vacation before the start of work in the Judiciary this Tuesday, 1st, at the beach house of the Minister of Communication, Fábio Faria, in Pirangi (RN). According to interlocutors from government authorities and the Supreme Court, the meeting took place in an “informal” way, as a celebration between longtime friends.
Government minister Jair Bolsonaro and the minister of the STF spent the weekend together on the paradise beach in the municipality of Parnamirim, near the capital Natal. The information was initially disclosed by the magazine Look and confirmed by Estadão. According to Faria’s publicist, he and Toffoli are friends and go to each other’s houses in Brasília. The Supreme Minister honored the inauguration of Fábio Faria in the Ministry of Communications last year.
Since taking office, the president has had a tense relationship with the Federal Supreme Court. Direct attacks on ministers Alexandre de Moraes and Luís Roberto Barroso are frequent. The relationship with Toffoli, however, is cordial. In October 2020, Bolsonaro even went to a meeting at the magistrate’s house in Brasília. At the time, the government articulated the appointment of Nunes Marques to the STF. A photo of Toffoli and Bolsonaro hugging has resonated with the president’s most radical supporters, who fuel the dispute against the court.
In June of last year, Toffoli suspended a criminal action against the patriarch of the Faria family, who is responsible in court for the crimes of embezzling public resources from the State Legislative Assembly and obstruction of justice for trying to buy the silence of a witness, as pointed out by the whistleblowers. Robinson Faria began to be investigated by decision of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), based on the award-winning collaboration agreement signed between a former member of his government in the context of Operation Anteros. According to interlocutors, Toffoli has no relationship with the father of Bolsonaro’s minister.
In the denunciation, approved at the time by the current president of the STF, Luiz Fux, the sources said “there is an alleged scheme of embezzlement of resources instituted in the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte that would, supposedly, have the participation of the then Governor”. In his decision on the case, Toffoli granted an injunction sought by Robinson’s defense and suspended the progress of the case until the final judgment of the case by the plenary of the STF.
When delivering the order, Toffoli justified the need to “gather more information” with the parties involved before issuing a new decision. The case therefore went on to be reviewed by the 6th Criminal Court of the District of Natal, which is responsible for providing data to ‘better equate the analysis of the issue’. The action, however, remains without movement since August of last year.
Sought by the report through the STF press office, Toffoli did not want to confirm the meeting, but neither did he deny that it had happened. The minister also declined to respond to questions from Estadão.
