Overview
- STF minister Dias Toffoli declared elements from Odebrecht’s leniency deal, including Drousys and My Web Day records, unusable under Brazilian law in proceedings involving Nadine Heredia.
- The ruling extends an August 2023 decision that afforded the same treatment to former Peruvian president Ollanta Humala.
- Within Brazilian territory, authorities are barred from carrying out arrests, extraditions, or other cooperation steps that depend on the annulled Odebrecht-derived material.
- Toffoli rejected a blanket bid to prohibit any arrest, extradition, or cooperation beyond that scope, keeping the ruling confined to Brazil’s legal order.
- Heredia has diplomatic asylum in Brazil after she and Humala were sentenced in Peru to 15 years for receiving illegal Odebrecht campaign contributions.
