Bolsonaro's request to postpone his testimony was denied by Moraes

Summoned to testify about the Operation Tempus Veritatis, This Thursday (22), the person under investigation, Jair Bolsonaro, formalized with his defense a request to advance his testimony. Upon receiving such a request, the Minister of Federal Court of JusticeAlexandre de Moraes denied it.

The request

Bolsonaro's defense asked last Tuesday (20), that the former president be exempted from appearing before the PF. The lawyers who made the request understand that they did not have “full access to all investigations and evidence gathered from cars†and that “there are no reasons for any statement scheduled by the Federal Police for February 22ndâ€.

The lawyers then requested a postponement last Monday (19), the supreme minister informed that Bolsonaro's legal advisors had already had full access to the material from the investigations, including the plea bargain. of Bolsonaro's former aide-de-camp, lieutenant colonel Mauro Cid.

The former president's defense continues to insist on previous arguments, which have already been rejected by the STF. The supreme court has already made it clear that the person being investigated and his defense have already had full access to the records and that, therefore, there is no need to postpone the scheduled testimony.
