Minister Cármen Lúcia, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), rejected, this Wednesday (24), the annulment of the decision that condemned the former prosecutor of Operation Lava Jato Deltan Dallagnol to indemnify President Luiz Inácio in R$ 75 thousand Lula da Silva in the “powerpoint case”. The rejection of the annulment occurred for procedural reasons if it did not even assess the merits of the request. In 2016, then head of the Lava Jato task force, Dallagnol gave a powerpoint presentation to accuse Lula, who was being investigated by the operation, of leading a criminal organization. Subsequently, the processes were annulled after the STF considered former judge Sérgio Moro partial in conducting the investigation. In March 2022, the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) sentenced Deltan Dallagnol to pay R$75,000 in moral damages to Lula. On the occasion, Cristiano Zanin, Lula’s lawyer, questioned Dallagnol’s functional conduct. According to him, the former prosecutor and other members of Lava Jato used the powerpoint presentation to accuse the former president of acting as “commander and conductor of a criminal organization”. For the STJ, the former prosecutor used discrediting terms and non-technical language in relation to the then former president.
