President Javier Milei’s role in cryptocurrency launch does not translate into a fraudulent scheme, judge says.
O ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), determinou nesta sexta-feira (23) o bloqueio de até R$ 6 bilhões do advogado Willer Tomaz. O ministro também ordenou quebra dos sigilos bancário, fiscal e cambial, além da suspensão dos passaportes e a paralisação das atividades econômicas, financeiras e empresariais de todas as empresas do advogado. Willer é investigado pela Polícia Federal (PF) por suspeitas de lavagem de dinheiro relacionado a negócios envolvendo bets. O valor bloqueado se refere a bens móveis, imóveis, aviões e barcos. As medidas foram tomadas pelo ministro após a PF descobrir que Willer Tomaz viajou para Miami, nos Estados Unidos, após ser alvo, em agosto, de busca e apreensão na Operação Sem Desconto, que investiga descontos indevidos nas aposentadorias e beneficiários do INSS. O Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras (Coaf), o Banco Central, e a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) serão comunicados sobre a decisão para efetuarem os bloqueios determinados. Com a ordem de quebra de sigilo, as instituições bancárias deverão fornecer todos os dados bancários de Willer Tomaz, incluindo a Alcazar Holdings, sediada na Ilha da Madeira, em Portugal. O advogado ficou conhecido nos últimos meses no contexto da campanha eleitoral por ter uma relação de amizade com o candidato Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). Em entrevistas, o candidato disse que mantém apenas relações pessoais com Willer Tomaz e negou ter relações comerciais com o advogado. A Agência Brasil busca contato com a defesa do advogado. O espaço está aberto para manifestação.
