The comedians of “Hypocrites” channel had to flee Brazil to escape political persecution by Moraes

The comedians Paulo Souza and Bismark Fugazza, from the Hypocrites Channel, had to flee Brazil to avoid being arrested by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, from the Supreme Court.

The information was obtained exclusively by Revista Oeste.

“Ten days ago, we received information from a very hot source that our names would be on the list of an arrest warrant,” revealed Souza, adding that the name of journalist Oswaldo Eustáquio would also be in the magistrate’s sights.

“So we made the decision to leave Brazil.”

According to Fugazza, Moraes is acting unconstitutionally.

“He gives the warrant into the hands of the police, and they arrest,” he said.

“Only afterward does the police put it into the system that the person was arrested.”

“So we don’t know if this arrest warrant exists. But since it was a source that we trusted very much that gave us this information, we decided to leave the country.”

“We understand that our silenced voices would not make a difference.

The full interview with the comedians will be published on Friday the 30th, in Issue 144 of the Revista Oeste
