Moraes and Zanin Back Making Tagliaferro a Defendant in STF Case

His lawyer quit the defense to lower tensions with the court.

Overview

  • The STF First Panel is holding a virtual session through November 14, with votes from Flávio Dino and Cármen Lúcia pending and the tally at 2–0 to accept the complaint.
  • The PGR accuses Eduardo Tagliaferro of violating official secrecy, obstructing an investigation involving a criminal organization, coercion during legal proceedings, and attempting the violent abolition of the democratic rule of law.
  • Tagliaferro remains in Italy under movement restrictions in Cosenza after an October detention, and Alexandre de Moraes requested his extradition via the Justice Ministry.
  • An Italian court scheduled a hearing on the extradition request for December 17, according to Poder360.
  • Eduardo Kuntz withdrew from the defense citing a desire to reduce institutional friction, with Paulo Farias set to assume representation; the case stems from leaked messages tied to Moraes’s TSE office, which his staff says followed due process.
