Federal Police Search Home of Lobbyist in STJ Rulings-for-Sale Probe

The warrant stems from suspected breaches of court measures during his medically justified home confinement.

Overview

  • STF Justice Cristiano Zanin authorized a search-and-seizure at Andreson de Oliveira Gonçalves’s residence in Primavera do Leste, where he is under house arrest with electronic monitoring.
  • Police executed the operation under seal after indications he failed to comply with court-imposed conditions.
  • No new detention was ordered for Gonçalves, but agents arrested an ex–military police officer who worked as his security during the search.
  • Operação Sisamnes examines an alleged scheme to sell judicial decisions involving STJ advisers, with evidence the lobbyist accessed advance drafts of votes and rulings.
  • Investigators say he connected suspended appellate judges Sebastião de Moraes Filho and João Ferreira Filho to slain lawyer Roberto Zampieri, and he previously moved from jail to home confinement for health reasons.
