"The illegality bloc has never been so strong and united in Brazil", says Dino
Minister Flávio Dino, of the STF (Supreme Federal Court), stated this Friday (22) that crime in Brazil "has never been so strong". The declaration took place at PUC-SP (Pontifical University of São Paulo) during the delivery of the Notório Saber Title to the magistrate.
In his acceptance speech, Dino mentioned the current strength of crime in the country.
According to him, criminal organizations can be found in armed factions, in the money laundering market and even in parliamentary amendments, whose discussion and investigation have intensified both in the Court and in the PF (Federal Police).
On the 15th, for example, the minister opened an investigation into the alleged sending of parliamentary amendments to the film "Dark Horse", by Jair Bolsonaro (PL). In March, he banned the withdrawal of funds from these public funds in kind.
"The illegality bloc has never been so strong and united in Brazil", said Dino. "Here, I'm referring to everything from armed factions to the capital market, which launders money from armed factions. One can't live without the other. It's hard and it's sad, but that's how it is."
And he added: "I am referring to those who commercialize, buy and sell judicial decisions; I am referring to parliamentary amendments when distorted, not all of them; I am therefore referring to all those who betray the signs of State power to join the block of illegality."
Receiving the title aims to enhance Dino's career in public and legal life. At the beginning of the event, the teachers paid tribute to Dino and said that he is an example for the students.
A native of Maranhão, the minister also highlighted that it was the first time he received an official honor outside the North and Northeast regions. For him, the main message of this title is to show that "we have the right to our identities". And he added: "I'm very proud of mine."
