Overview
- Supreme Federal Court justice José Antonio Dias Toffoli granted a defense request to annul digital evidence tied to Odebrecht’s Drousys and My Web Day systems.
- The ruling declares the records unusable due to unresolved questions over chain of custody and authenticity raised in earlier Brazilian decisions.
- The decision prohibits using those materials in any judicial cooperation with Peru and orders Brazil’s Ministry of Justice to refrain from transmitting them.
- Toffoli extended benefits previously applied to other Lava Jato defendants, including former Peruvian president Ollanta Humala, to Nadine Heredia.
- Heredia has diplomatic asylum in Brazil since April 2025 after a transfer to Brasília by the Brazilian Air Force, a status that the ruling could further shield from extradition or detention requests.
