New Leaks Cite Supreme Court Justice’s Dinner With Moro and Dallagnol
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – On Tuesday, July 16th, journalist Reinaldo Azevedo released new conversations between former judge Sérgio Moro and prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol on his radio show BandNews.
According to the disclosed content, Federal Supreme Court (STF) Justice Luís Roberto Barroso, had invited Moro and Dallagnol to a private dinner, which was held on August 9th, 2016.
Azevedo’s report, in partnership with The Intercept Brasil, features a message written by Barroso and forwarded by Dallagnol to Moro.
In the invitation, the STF justice asks for “utmost discretion” regarding the meeting and writes: “As far as possible, we wish to keep it as a private and discreet event.”
The meeting was allegedly held to celebrate the participation of Barroso, Moro and Dallagnol in the event “Democracy, Corruption, and Justice: Dialogues for a Better Country”, which took place at the Centro Universitário de Brasília (UniCEUB) and broadcast on the Internet.
According to the report, the Supreme Court Justice, a member of the panel where part of the Lava Jato cases are being processed, was aware that a private dinner with the prosecutor and the judge would not be well regarded by the public.
The leaked conversations further corroborate known facts, which would serve to attest to the authenticity of the contents obtained by The Intercept.
In addition to dealing with an event that took place in Brasília, the reported material also contains a message exchange on Dallagnol’s interview with Jô Soares, from TV Globo.
The efforts to be well regarded seemed to have been successful for someone who was already planning to profit by giving lectures.
The conversations between the two additionally show that these talks went beyond professional topics.
In one of the excerpts, the judge showed interest in the prosecutor’s performance on television.
“How was it on Jô?” he asked. Dallagnol answered: “This time, I tried to blend content with entertainment, and I think the result was great.”
