TRF4 Suspends Judge Eduardo Appio, Opens Disciplinary Case Over Suspected Champagne Thefts

The decision follows a police report that links the Blumenau incidents to a vehicle registered to the magistrate.

Overview

  • TRF4’s corrections office proposed and the Special Administrative Court approved his indefinite removal as proceedings advance under court secrecy.
  • Santa Catarina Civil Police named him a suspect after witness testimony and image analysis indicated a Jeep Compass with his license plate left the supermarket.
  • Two Moët champagne bottles were reportedly taken on September 20 and October 4 from a Blumenau store, each priced at roughly R$500.
  • The police report’s physical description of the alleged thief does not match Appio, yet the vehicle link led authorities to refer the matter to TRF4 under forum rules.
  • Under LOMAN he retains basic pay during an up to 120-day suspension, and he has called the episode a misunderstanding as his defense says it will speak only in the confidential case file.
