Overview

  • Rodrigo Bacellar, president of Rio’s state assembly, remains in preventive custody on suspicion of leaking Operation Zargun and obstructing the inquiry, with PF reporting he warned TH Jóias and carried R$90.84 thousand in cash in an official car.
  • The Alerj Constitution and Justice Committee postponed its review to December 8, after which the case goes to the full assembly, where Bacellar would need at least 36 of 69 votes to be released.
  • Alexandre de Moraes ordered the Rio government to deliver detailed access logs and documents for the September move that reinstated Rafael Picciani and displaced TH Jóias, and Rio authorities say they have supplied the requested data.
  • Investigators are analyzing Bacellar’s seized phones as they scrutinize a rapid executive-legislative maneuver flagged by PF and pursue leads on criminal groups’ political infiltration with possible interstate and international reach.
  • National fallout continues as the INSS CPMI rejected hearings for Jorge Messias and Fábio Luís da Silva and approved Romeu Zema, while a Gilmar Mendes ruling on impeachment petitions has complicated Messias’s stalled Supreme Court nomination.
