Federal Police Ask STF to Broaden Probe Into Alleged Sale of STJ Decisions

A partial report identifies Fource as the scheme’s hub, with cloud messages alongside money flows cited as grounds for new investigative fronts.

Overview

  • Investigators requested authorization from Justice Cristiano Zanin to deepen inquiries into new actors, including a minister’s daughter, and to split off distinct lines of inquiry.
  • The report describes Fource and its partners Haroldo Augusto Filho and Valdoir Slapak as the core operators with direct access to STJ offices via intermediaries.
  • Data extracted from lobbyist Andreson de Oliveira Gonçalves’ cloud show R$ 4 million paid to a company tied to an STJ server’s wife as draft decisions from two ministers’ chambers were handled, with the server later dismissed by the court.
  • Analysts say the lobbyist used coded language and false contact names that mimicked STJ staff to conceal dealings, while some saved names actually matched outside lawyers.
  • A separate front will examine links to the J&F group after messages and transfers surfaced, including Andreson’s claim of receiving R$ 19 million and Coaf’s detection of R$ 15 million from JBS to his wife’s law office, which JBS says were lawful fees; the report also outlines alleged fraud patterns in agribusiness bankruptcies tied to Fource.
