Overview
- The STJ’s Corte Especial had set the case for November 19, but the session was moved to December 3 after Justice Gilmar Mendes granted a 15‑day suspension.
- Relator Nancy Andrighi had denied a similar request in the STJ, and Mendes cited Supreme Court precedent requiring formalized access to Coaf reports to safeguard due process.
- Prosecutors charge Gladson Cameli with organized crime, active and passive corruption, embezzlement, money laundering, and bid rigging, with combined penalties that could exceed 40 years.
- The prosecution stems from Federal Police Operation Ptolomeu and a 2019 state contract worth R$24.3 million with Murano, with CGU audits noting overpricing above R$8 million and about R$2.9 million in overbilling and citing benefits to family-linked firms.
- Cameli remains a defendant under court measures that bar contact with witnesses, prohibit foreign travel with passport surrendered, and freeze assets, while his lawyers argue procedural irregularities and restricted access to evidence.
