Lawyer Cristiano Zanin stated that he intends to analyze the records, parts and content of cases related to Operation Lava Jato before declaring himself prevented from voting on lawsuits on the matter at the Federal Supreme Court (STF), if his nomination for the Court. The statement was made during a Saturday at the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ) in the Senate this Wednesday (21). “Future issues, future processes, obviously it is necessary, to assess whether or not a hypothesis of impediment or suspicion, analyze the records, analyze who the parties are, what the content is”, he said. “I do not believe that the simple fact of putting a label on the process, indicating the name Lava Jato, this can be a criterion to be used to assess suspicion or impediment”, he said in response to Senator Sergio Moro (União Brasil-PR ). Racism In response to Senator Teresa Leitão (PT-PE) on the role of Justice in relation to the so-called structural racism and the problems of Brazilian prisons, Zanin stated that the matter deserves “special attention”. “Brazil has the third largest prison population in the world. About 69% are black people, a fact that deserves special attention. practice of illicit acts. Today we already have alternative sentences, which can even be improved, leaving prison for those who effectively need isolation from society”, he argued. Time frame The subject of agrarian conflicts and the time frame was questioned by Senator Nelsinho Trad (PSD-MS). The parliamentarian asked Zanin about the possibility of conciliation as a legal tool for these cases. “On the issue of land and the temporal framework, it is necessary to seek to reconcile the values and guarantees provided for in the Constitution for the solution of this case. The STF has adopted an important instrument, which is conciliation even in the constitutional jurisdiction”, he said. Lawfare Cristiano Zanin also stated that the fight against corruption cannot be used as a form of political persecution. For Senator Weverton (PDT-MA), the practice called lawfare may be a symptom of a crisis of political representation. The theme was pointed out by Senator Rogério Carvalho (PT-SE) this morning and refers to the practice of manipulating the laws and the judicial system to persecute political opponents, that is, to improperly use Justice as a political weapon. Operation Lava Jato, for example, is accused of having practiced lawfare against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. “I don’t think we can accept [o lawfare]. We always have to make the fight against corruption effective, but never use this fight to promote persecution”, he said.
