A Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) enviou nesta segunda-feira (19) ao Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) um parecer contrário ao pedido para investigar o ministro André Mendonça por abuso de autoridade. A manifestação foi solicitada pelo presidente do Supremo, Edson Fachin, após o ministro Alexandre de Moraes pedir que Mendonça seja investigado por pedir a abertura de uma investigação contra ele. Moraes foi citado em conversas com o ex-banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro. Notícias relacionadas:Mendonça acusa Moraes de direcionar investigação no STF.Na manifestação, o procurador-geral da República, Paulo Gonet, diz que o pedido de investigação contra o colega não pode ser considerado crime. "A representação, contudo, não parece demonstrar que a conduta possa ser reconduzida a ato punido por algum tipo da Lei n. 13.869/2019, a Lei de Abuso de Autoridade, que é o tema que cabe examinar neste momento", afirmou.  Gonet também disse que os relatórios solicitados por Mendonça à Polícia Federal (PF) para embasar o pedido de investigação contra Moraes não podem ser considerados como prova. "Os próprios relatórios contêm advertência de que não possuem valor probatório, não sendo peça de instrução. Não podem ser considerados provas ilícitas, até porque provas não são", completou. O caso Moraes veio à tona no dia 1° de setembro, quando André Mendonça, relator do caso Master, retirou o sigilo do caso e encaminhou as conversas para Fachin. A investigação da PF apontou que Vorcaro trocou cerca de 50 mensagens com número atribuído a Alexandre de Moraes antes de ser preso, em 17 de novembro do ano passado. Mendonça foi acusado por Alexandre de Moraes de atuar de forma parcial na condução das investigações para incriminá-lo. 

O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Cristiano Zanin pediu nesta segunda-feira (19) a manifestação da Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) e da Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU) sobre a ação que pede a realização de segundo turno para governador do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Com a decisão, os órgãos terão prazo de cinco dias para enviar um parecer ao Supremo. O Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) também será ouvido. Notícias relacionadas:Ato em apoio à democracia e a Lula reúne milhares no Rio e Brasília.Zanin vai relatar novo pedido do PSD por segundo turno no Rio.TRE-RJ proclama Douglas Ruas eleito para o governo do Rio de Janeiro.Zanin é relator da ação na qual o PSD, partido do candidato Eduardo Paes, pretende suspender a decisão do TSE que anulou os votos obtidos pelo candidato Anthony Garotinho (Republicanos) e determinou a retotalização dos votos para o cargo de governador do Rio de Janeiro. A medida permitiu a eleição de Douglas Ruas (PL) no primeiro turno, por ter passado de 49,27% para 50,88% dos votos válidos. Para o PSD, a realização de segundo turno deve depender exclusivamente dos votos dos eleitores, não de “eventos processuais”. “A interpretação impugnada, contudo, mantém aberta outra via para o mesmo resultado: quem sabe que terá o registro negado pode manter-se na urna, captar votos e aguardar que a anulação definitiva retire esses votos da base”, argumenta o partido. Após receber as manifestações, o relator deve decidir a questão. Em outra ação sobre o caso, Zanin já negou pedido da campanha de Paes para suspender a decisão do TSE que levou à vitória de Ruas no primeiro turno.
