What weighs against Gonet and how he could lose his position as PGR

TL;DR

  • The Superior Council of the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (CSMPF) will analyze messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's phone concerning Attorney General Paulo Gonet.
  • The messages may lead to Gonet's removal from investigations related to Banco Master, but not necessarily from his position as PGR.
  • Removing Gonet from the PGR position requires action by the President of the Republic and authorization from the Federal Senate.
  • The CSMPF's analysis will focus on verifying if Gonet's impartiality in the Banco Master cases is compromised.
  • If indications of a common crime are found, the CSMPF may forward the case for investigation by a deputy attorney general.
  • Gonet acknowledges meeting Vorcaro briefly at a public event in London but denies a close relationship or direct contact.
  • Potential consequences of a decision against Gonet include challenges to the validity of evidence in the Banco Master case.
