TL;DR
- Supreme Court Justice Gilmar Mendes rejected a claim by Danielle Mendonça da Costa da Nóbrega, an ex-aide to Flávio Bolsonaro, to block the breach of her bank and tax records.
- The breach is part of an investigation into an alleged 'rachadinha' scheme.
- Mendes found sufficient independent evidence, including Alerj financial reports, functional data, and messages from Danielle's seized phone, to support the decision.
- These other pieces of evidence are considered capable of sustaining the secrecy breach ruling, irrespective of the disputed Coaf report.
- The investigation aims to reconstruct financial flows and ascertain any damage to public funds.
